D ense ruby red with violet highlights and a bouquet of dark violets and pressed red-berried fruit. Fresh and well-balanced on the palate, showing cherries and raspberries. Soft, warm entry, juicy and easy-drinking, with a persistent finish.
> Vinification:
The grapes are crushed and destemmed immediately after picking, followed by maceration in special tanks for 12-14 days which permits the optimum extraction of the colour. The wine is drawn off, and the fermentation is completed without any further intake of tannins.
> Ageing:
After the first rackings, the wine is aged and usually bottled one year after harvesting in late summer.
