About this wine

Vinification

The must ferments in truncated-cone steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24–26 months, mainly in new medium- and large-format barrels of Slavonian and French Allier oak; a small portion remains in steel tanks. After bottling, it rests for a further 12 months in the estate’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Distinctive in personality and traditional in style, the wine has a strong character shaped by its terroir and favourable weather.

Vintage notes

Robert Parker rated the 2010 vintage as outstanding.
