WINEMAKING AND REFINING
Harvesting is done manually and is carried out in the morning. The harvested grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Then a cold pre-fermentative maceration and fermentation on the skins for 20 days at a controlled temperature is carried out. During alcoholic fermentation, pumping over and delestage are carried out to promote better tannin extraction. After racking, the wine is left to mature in second- and third-passage barrels and barriques for about 6-8 months before bottling.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
The wine is ruby red with slight purple notes. The bouquet is elegant, complex and typical of Syrah with delicately spicy notes reminiscent of black pepper and cocoa. In the mouth it is warm, soft with docile tannins and great minerality that gives a pleasant length.

PAIRINGS
Wonderful paired with grilled meats generously drizzled with fresh local oils.
