## Summary

The estate's flagship cru, from a one hectare plot planted by Daniela's grandfather in 1954 and still farmed by hand.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with garnet highlights as it evolves. Ethereal, intense nose of ripe fruit, rose and blackberry that develops vanilla, cocoa and spice notes with age. Elegant, fruity and mineral, with crisp tannins that suggest good ageing potential.

## Food pairings

Tajarin or plin with white Alba truffle, red meats, roasts, game, hard cheeses.
