The grapes, picked in the after careful selection, are destalked and pass through an optical sorter.
Following pressing, the must ferments in 50 hl truncated cone-shaped vats, with maceration on the skins for about two weeks. This is followed by a period of maturation of at least 30 months in medium-sized oak barrels, with a small proportion having its élevage in barriques.

Organoleptic form
A concentrated, bright ruby red color acts as a prelude to the bouquet of violets and red and black berry fruits, which mingle attractively with spicy and balsamic aromas. On the palate, it is powerful and vigorous, dynamic and elegant; the extremely dense tannins are set off by tastebud-tingling tangy and succulent sensations that linger in a finish which simply crackles with fruit, spices and aromatic herbs.
Gastronomic combinations
Because of its concentration and depth, this is a wine with a natural disposition for pairing with food, especially with richly flavored soups, pasta dishes with game sauces, and meat recipes that are slow-cooked or include spices and herbs. Excellent with more mature cheeses.
