Malolactic fermentation in thermoregulated concrete vats also. Aging 12 months (10% in barrels of one and two wines). Bordeaux and Burgundy cooperages.
Tasting notes
Delicate ruby color. The nose offers notes of blackberries and currants accompanied by a pleasant freshness. On the palate, a beautiful structure is associated with an intense expression of the fruit. Overall, charming and with a beautiful aromatic persistence. Will be able to accompany poultry, cheeses of character, cold meats, tapas, and grilled red meats.
