The company, which follows the criteria of guaranteed and certified organic cultivation, covers an area of 35 hectares, 14 of which are planted with vineyards and 3 with olive groves. Wine produced from a 10-hectare vineyard located 100 meters above sea level. The soils present are calcareous sandstones and mixed clays while the climate is of the temperate Mediterranean type. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. The average age of the plant is 20 years. The vinification begins with the alcoholic fermentation in open truncated conical wooden vats while the malolactic fermentation takes place in barrique. The ageing continues for 18 months in first and second use barriques, after which the red wine is subjected to stabilisation for a minimum of 12 months in the bottle. In the glass, the highly concentrated ruby red brings to the nose hints of red plums, coffee, star anise, on a mentholated and balsamic background, with a final toasting. The sip has a great structure, solid, with perfectly integrated tannins that support a balance with a long savoury, spicy, almost peppery finish. It is inevitable to combine one of the most important wine products of our country with an important occasion, where one will have the foresight to accompany it with tasty red meat dishes or game.
