Crushing and maceration in the tank for about 15 days. After

fermentation in stainless steel, it is then aged in French oak

barriques for three years and then for another 18 months in

stainless steel. It is then aged in bottle for about 12 months.

Description

Bright garnet red, of vivid transparency and good consistency.

Elegant and complex bouquet, with pleasant hints of ripe red fruit:

plum, cherry, medlar and black figs, then dates and mulberry. The

spicy notes of black pepper with large grains, cloves and nutmeg,

give a pleasant spicy aroma. Then comes a light licorice,

sandalwood and patchouli, then a sweet carob smoke, toasted

hazelnut, roasting and dark chocolate.The finish has mineral notes

of graphite and basalt, accompanied by sensations of essential oils

and woods reminiscent of raw ebony.

The palate is fresh and juicy, dry, warm, with a pleasant sapidity

and persistence. Fine, balanced and very elegant. The smooth and

mellow tannins accompany the delicate woody sensations that

enrich the sip without covering the other aromas. Ripe red fruits

and the pleasant spicy notes return
