The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed on delivery to the winery.
Fermentation takes place at 28/30°C; the maceration of about one week gives to the wine a good complexity; the wine is then racked off the skins and it undergoes the malolactic fermentation; thereafter the wine ages in wood for a few months.
Ruby in colour, fruity on the nose with hints of red fruits and spicy, with a note of green pepper. On the palate the wine is full bodied, well balanced, with soft and elegant tannins.
It goes very well with
Red meats, game and cheeses.
