The must is vinified with maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.
The wine matures for a few months, 50% in 500 litre Allier oak tonneaux and the remaining 50% in 30 hl Slavonian oak casks.
It has an intense ruby red colour with purple highlights. The nose is rich and appealing, with ripe sensations of plums and sour cherries, warm and spicy hints. On the palate it displays a full body and good structure, underpinned by a well-balanced acidity. Rich, well integrated tannins.
