About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards are planted on limestone and clay soils with sand and pebbles. These soils give the wine structure and mineral depth.

Vinification

The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and vinified in the traditional way at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine ages for 10 months in large oak barrels, which give softness and depth, then spends a further 2 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Structured, with mineral depth. Ageing in large oak adds softness and depth, and time in bottle brings harmony.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with pasta with tomato sauce, roasted meat and aged cheeses.
