After the grapes are destemmed
and pressed, the must is fermented in contact with the skins for 7-8 days.,
during which several pumpings over are carried out daily to extract coloring
substances and tannins Then the wine is transferred in 225 and 500 liter
French oak barrels, new ore used at most for two years, where its maturation
is completed in at least 24 months. The wine is then bottle-aged for 15-18
months before being offerd for sale.

Taste
|
Its firm structure has a marked, though
very soft tannic quality which allows for its ageing in small barrels, leaving
the mouth clean and an intense and persistent aftertaste.
|
|
| Food matching: |
Aged cheeses, meats and above all game.
