The fermentations take place in stainless steel and cement tanks, using spontaneous yeasts to allow the most natural expression of the wine. At the beginning of the process, two daily pump-overs are carried out, which are then reduced according to the extraction progress. The maceration duration is decided through frequent tastings, allowing the winemaker to monitor the wine’s evolution. After the malolactic fermentation, which naturally occurs in November, the various wines are blended and begin their aging process. This lasts for 12 months, during which part of the wine matures in 30 hl cement vats, while the other part rests in second- and third-passage barriques. The wine has excellent aging potential, with a lifespan of up to 10 years, during which it will continue to evolve and refine. Visually, the wine presents a dark ruby color, enhanced by subtle garnet reflections that emphasize its depth. The aromatic profile is rich and intense, with aromas of black currant, marasca cherry, blueberry, blackberry, and ripe cherry, intertwined with notes of underbrush and humus. Additionally, there are herbaceous hints typical of the Mediterranean scrub, as well as tobacco, leather, and delicate spicy nuances that further enrich the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and well-structured, with a mature and velvety tannic texture that envelops the mouth. Its aromatic complexity is felt in all its breadth, while maintaining a vital freshness that expresses itself in a fresh and persistent finish, leaving a pleasant and lasting aftertaste. Perfect for pairing with pasta dishes with meat sauces, roasted and grilled meats, braised red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine is ideal for rich and flavorful dishes that enhance its structure and complexity. To fully enjoy it, we recommend allowing the wine to "breathe" for 15-30 minutes before serving it at a temperature of 16-18°C.
