Tasting notes

Ruby red tending to pomegranate. Very pleasant taste, still tannic but velvety, soft and round. Can be served decanted or with its sediment, in the peasant tradition.

Vinification
Grapes are crushed and fermented five to seven days in steel. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation the wine stays in steel until spring, then moves to 500-litre oak casks for at least 12 months and is bottled unfiltered. Aged like a Nebbiolo, with at least 12 months in large cask to soften the natural tannins.
