Harvesting is by hand in high density vineyards. VINIFICATION: Maceration for 14 days at temperatures not greater than 28°C. After a brief spell in stainless steel vats and the completion of the malolactic fermentation the wine is racked into French barriques. AGEING: 18 months in barrique, plus a minimum of 6 months in bottle. ALCOHOLIC CONTENT: 13,5 % vol. COLOUR: Ruby red with garnet reflections. BOUQUET: Complex, impressive, ethereal, with scents of forest fruits, an incisive and definite character which is well-balanced and accentuated thanks to the characteristics acquired from the time spent in barrique. PALATE: Marked, full bodied and excellent structure. Long finish and an attractive "international" taste. SERVING TEMPERATURE: The wine should be served at 18°C, and will benefit from being decanted. PRESERVATION: The wine, if cellared well, will improve and become more refined with age.
