Production Details The healthy, fully ripe grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation proceeded with skin maceration at controlled temperature in stainless steel containers. Maturation included small French-oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing in temperature-controlled cellars. The vines are trained mainly to Guyot. The producer recommends serving this 750 mL release at 16–18 °C.
Tasting Notes Intense, crystal-clear ruby red; ripe black cherry, red cherry plum, dark spice, rose petals, subtle tropical and citrus notes; luscious, refreshing and mouth-filling, with marasca cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, clove, Sichuan pepper, cedar, characterful tannin and toasted-cocoa echoes on a long finish.
Food Pairing Red meats, roasts and moderately mature cheeses
