WINEMAKING
After arriving at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushedwithout breaking the berries. Fermentation takes place exclusively withindigenous yeastsin stainless steel tanks, where the must remains on the skins for 10 days.
After an extremely gentle pressing,never exceeding 1 bar,using a central membrane pneumatic press, the wine rests for a period in concrete tanks, then matures for 9 months in barriques and tonneaux before being blended in stainless steel prior to bottling.
TASTING NOTES
Deep ruby red in colour. The nose is complex, with ripe black cherries, plums and strawberries, layered with notes of spice and tobacco, delicate hints of leather, and balsamic and floral nuances of wild rose.
The palate is elegant and medium-bodied, with silky tannins. At first it appears restrained, but with a second taste it reveals a broad, layered and enveloping complexity.
FOOD PAIRING
The wine’s versatility and complexity make it suitable for a wide range of dishes and occasions. It pairs well with:
1) Roasted or grilled red meats, especially beef fillet, rib steak, lamb and wild boar.
2) White meats such as hare or duck, as well as semi-aged cheeses and cured meats, whose savoury character and complexity pair beautifully with the wine.
3) Mushroom-based dishes such as risotto or tagliatelle, where the wine’s earthy notes harmonise well with the flavours of the mushrooms.
4) Lighter dishes, such as salads with walnuts and goat’s cheese.
