Tasting notes

Ruby red colour with occasional garnet reflections. The nose is broad and complex, with red flowers, berries and spices; the palate is of personality, almost rustic and wild, wide, fresh and of good persistence.

Vinification
The grapes are vinified separately as harvest times differ, Merlot first and then Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentative maceration lasts about 10 days with pump-overs by the delestage technique. Cabernet (30%) is aged in barriques and Merlot (70%) in steel; after about a year the two wines are blended and bottled.
