Product notes
Vines terraced in the shape of a Roman amphitheater. The terroir is composed of gneiss giving siliceous soils of light color to which are mixed limestone loess. Average age of the vines: 75 years.
Production notes
Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Work by traditional pumping over. Alcoholic fermentation / maceration for four weeks. Single aging of forty months in new pieces.
Tasting notes
Ruby red color with vermilion red reflections. Complex nose of small red fruits, blackberry and floral aromas of violets. Powerful but fine aromatic intensity. Very supple entry in the mouth and a beautiful harmony between the finesse of the aromas and the explosive richness due to the concentration. A voluptuous, silky-smooth, intensely aromatic wine. Perfect match with small game birds, woodcock, etc.
