The grapes are picked by hand and are vinified traditionally, with a delicate maceration on the skins. The wine then matures for eight months in 5 hl. French oak barrels, followed by a further three months’ bottle ageing.
Tasting notes
Colour: ruby-red with pale purplish highlights.

Food Pairings: A wine that can be drunk throughout the meal, but which goes particularly well with richly flavored dishes, roasts, grilled meats and cheeses.
