Type of soil
The vineyard stretches on a gentle hillslope, at an altitude of 320 m above sea level. It faces south/southwest and features a soil rich in sand and marine sediment (shells, fossils) thanks to its heritage as an ancient ocean floor.
Grape Variety
When perfect ripeness is reached, the harvest of each variety is carried out separately to allow the most authentic expression of each variety’s characteristics. The harvest is carried out from late September to early October.
Vinification
Vinification and maceration take place in our cellar’s stainless steel tanks, for about 12 to 15 days at a controlled temperature. Thereafter, the wine is kept on the fine lees for over 2 months, to develop its aroma and bouquet thanks to the lysis of the yeast. The wine is then aged in wood (a larger portion in 225-liter French oak barrels and a smaller one in Slavonian oak barrels) for 3 to 5 months. Finally, the two varieties are blended and bottle-aged for 2 to 3 months at a controlled temperature ranging between 15° and 16°C.
Sensory Evaluation
Ruby red nectar with aromas of ripe fruits, spices, plum, chestnut, and tobacco. Round and full, enveloping, with soft tannins and a long finish.
Food pairing
Best if enjoyed with cured meats, lasagna, pasta with meat sauce, grilled meat, and semi-hard cheese.
