Vinification
The grape bunches are harvested by hand during the second
10 days of September. Dried in drying lofts for about 100 days,
where they lose about 40% in weight. The grapes are destemmed and
gently crushed, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in
stainless steel vats at 15-20°C. Fermentation for 25 days with regular
daily pumping over. 24 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux,
and 6 months of bottle-aging.
Gastronomy
Stewed and barbecued game, braised meats,
mature cheeses and sweet and sour dishes.
Sensory characteristics
Dark, bright garnet red. On the nose, it has a complex
and sumptuous bouquet. Pleasant initial nuances of morello
cherry and preserve are then enveloped by spices and a delicate
leathery finish. Full-bodied, enveloping, strong and pleasant,
with a lingering and balanced finish.
