Winemaking
The freshly harvested grapes are destemmed and carefully pressed, then placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Racking is usually done before the end of the fermentation to avoid too much extraction of tannins. The fermentation is then brought to an end with the malolactic conversion and subsequent dregs removal.
Ageing
In stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature until its bottled between April and May. Maturation continues for about 6 months in the bottle.
Tasting notes
Light garnet red colour. The bouquet is initially winey then, when left to rest, it evolves with intense and persistent scents of flowers such as roses and violets, freshly picked fruit, blackcurrants, sour black cherries, raspberry and strawberry, with a hint of cocoa. There is a slight tart sensation on the palate, tempered by the fruity sweetness and subtle tannins.

Perfect pairing
A wine that goes well with snacks and bread based aperitifs, salami and cheeses, or with a lunch with pasta like tagliatelle, stuffed pasta and spaghetti with meat sauce. Also ideal with simple meat dishes.
