About the Winery

Care information

Store red wines horizontally in a cool, dark place, while white and sparkling wines are best kept in the refrigerator. Avoid sudden changes in temperature.

The wine is fresh and spirited on the nose, with notes of pencil lead, almost metallic, which for many is a descriptor closer to minerality, a term that is widely used but not always easy to understand. Then the fruit appears. Plum and blackberry, with a hint of spice enveloping it. On the palate, it is lively and vibrant, with soft tannins that nevertheless leave a deep impression on the finish. Delicious.

Pairing

Rice and pasta, poultry, white meat, red meat, game, sausages, cold cuts, meat stews, eggs, pâtés, foie gras, oily fish, mature cheeses, vegetables, and greens.

Service

Serve between 16°C and 18°C

What flavor awaits me?

Appearance
Intense cherry red with violet reflections. Bright, clean, and medium-high intensity, showing youthfulness and good extraction.

Nose
Expressive aromas of ripe red and black fruits (cherry, plum, blackberry), with fresh balsamic notes such as thyme and rosemary. There are also subtle whiffs of orange peel, sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon), and toasted notes that are very well blended due to their brief aging in oak barrels.

Palate
Amiable and fresh on the palate. A balanced, medium-bodied wine with round tannins and good tension. The acidity is perfectly integrated, adding liveliness. Long finish with hints of ripe fruit, spices, and a subtle mineral undertone.
