2020 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window Drink now or cellar for 5–8 years

Production Details Grapes were harvested and sorted by hand. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation lasted 16–18 days in temperature-controlled open vats with punch-downs, and free-run and press wine were separated afterward. The vintage-specific PDF states 17 months in barrel followed by one month in stainless steel. The linked official 2020 webpage instead says nine months in barrel and gives no subsequent tank period; the contradictory webpage duration has not been treated as settled. Recommended serving temperature is 14–15°C.
Tasting Notes Intense, deep ruby colour; blackcurrant, spice, strawberry and cherry aromas; direct palate with a savoury, long finish
Food Pairing Veal blanquette or aubergine fritters
