First vintage produced 2020, released on the market December 2024

ALTITUDE : 550m above sea level
GRAPE YIELD: 45 q/ha

HARVEST : Second/Third decade of October
FERMENTATION : The destemming and soft pressing of the grapes precedes the maceration, which lasts about 30 days, in steel at 26/28°C. The malolactic fermentation , however, occurs spontaneously in barriques during the spring period.
REFINEMENT : After racking, the wine is refined in wood for approximately 18/24 months, then transferred to steel and left to mature for another 6 months in the bottle.
BOTTLING: After approximately 36 months from the harvest
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: Intense ruby red color, with aromas of small red fruits that evolve over time to tertiary aromas of leather and myrtle with balsamic puffs. The taste is powerful and intriguing with tannins present but never invasive, which invite the next sip.
