Careful hand-harvesting was followed by fermentation in wooden vats, then malolactic fermentation and 16 months of ageing in new, 300-litre barrique barrels imparted the wine’s final character.

The nose is defined by black fruits, sour cherries, plums and subtly spicy oak notes. The palate is rich, with a structure interwoven with dark berries, whereby the harmony of ripe and fruity flavours, along with a long finish, showcases the wine’s complexity. Enjoyable even when young, it will continue to reveal surprises over the years.
