HARVEST
TASTING NOTES
A deep ruby color with purple reflections sets the tone for this intense wine. The nose is powerful and elegant, revealing aromas of black cherry, black pepper, and wild herbs. The palate is generous and well-structured with refined tannins and a balance of black fruit (cherries) and spice. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving a lasting impression.
The grapes are harvested manually at polyphenolic maturity.
VINIFICATION
Total crushing and destemming. Cooling of the harvested grapes using dry ice. Pre-fermentation cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the fruity flavors. One-week post-fermentation maceration. Separation of free-run juice and press wine during racking. Malolactic fermentation in oak tanks. Aging for 18 months in oak barrels.
