TASTING NOTES
The wine opens with a ruby red color with violet tinges. It has a full and intense fragrance with hints of red fruit which bring to mind cherries and raspberries. On the palate the wine is smooth and well-balanced. The finish is characterized by gentle tannins and the persistent flavor of the grapes which make is so delicious and easy to drink.
VINIFICATION
Vinification took place separately for the different grape varietals. After destemming and a gentle pressing, the grapes underwent maceration for approximately 1 week in stainless steel tanks. During this phase, the wine completed alcoholic fermentation at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. The wine was then racked, and subsequently finished malolactic fermentation by the end of winter. The wine was aged partly in wood and partly in steel, which allowed it to be bottled beginning in late spring. Alcohol content: 13.0% by Vol.
