About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyard occupies a small plateau at 250 metres above sea level. Its very poor limestone soils place the vines under stress, encouraging greater concentration in the grapes while protecting them from overripening.

Grapes

The wine is made from selected grapes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo traditional fermentation in new barriques.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in the same barriques, followed by 4–6 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Rich, powerful and intense.

Serving and pairing

Pair with fish first courses and main courses, seafood, vegetable dishes, Quiche Lorraine, bottarga or broad bean macco.
