VINIFICATION The harvested grapes are left to dry in boxes until December-January so that through the dehydration of the bunch the sugar content is concentrated and particular aromas develop.

COLOR Intense ruby red color.

BOUQUET Complex and rich scent ranging from aromatic herbs to sour cherries in alcohol with notes of cinchona and tobacco.

PAIRINGS Red meats, game and aged cheeses.

TASTE In the mouth it is rich, with powerful tannins, well harmonized with the fatness of the pulp. Endless ending
