ELABORATION
After a gentle crush, cold maceration of the must with the skins for
24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 8 days
with periodic pumping at a maximum controlled temperature of 27ºC
in order to preserve and extract the fruity aromas. Post fermentative
maceration for 24 - 48 hours. Malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks.
TASTING NOTE
Strong and elegant with an aromatic complexity that develops as the
wine airs in the glass. The notes of ripe fruit and currants, so typical of
the old - growth vines where the grapes were grown, combine perfectly
with the delicate aromas of cocoa, cream and toast and the balsamic
hints provided by the wine’s lengthy aging in both barrel and bottle.
It is voluminous and very well - structured in the mouth, with strong,
sweet tannins that offer a long, silky, enveloping finish.
PAIRING
Ideal for enjoying with rich, red meats, legumes,
stews and other dishes with strong flavours.
AGING
24 months in French (70%) and American (30%) oak
Bordeux - type barrels. Minimum 36 months’ bottle aging.
