ORIGIN
Vineyards owned by the winery, trained with spurred cordon and sapling on sandy soils from granite disintegration, at an altitude of 300 meters.

PROCESSING AND AGING
Manual harvest of the grapes, which are de-stemmed and macerated for a medium-long period. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins for about 10/15 days. The aging is done partly in steel and partly in medium-sized barrels. It can evolve and be consumed up to 12 years after the harvest.

FEATURES
Color: bright ruby red.
Bouquet: intense and enveloping, hints of balsamic herbs, chocolate, pepper and Mediterranean scrub.
Taste: soft and savory, fresh and balanced.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Excellent with first courses based on tasty meat sauces, spit-roasted lamb and grilled meats. It also accompanies medium and long-aged sheep's cheeses, especially when served with honey.
