Dark magenta. Ripe dark berries, cherry pit, violet and a hint of licorice on the nose. Silky and broad in the mouth, offering bitter cherry and cassis flavors and a late jolt of spiciness. Shows just a touch of tannins on a long, smooth finish that strongly echoes the cherry note.
The vines are 40 years old; they are pruned quite extensively to limit the yield; all the bunches are picked by hand and then very carefully sorted to retain only the fully ripe, whole bunches.
Semi carbonic maceration for up to 7 days. Traditional Vinification temperature: 22° C at the beginning of fermentation and 32° C at the end. On pressing, cooling to 22° C to retain as much aroma and flavor as possible.
Aged in vats on the lees. All terroirs vinified and aged separately.
