Product notes

in the cellar, at controlled humidity and a temperature of 10- 12°C. Storing it for a medium to long time (5 to 10 years) in the bottle allows an ageing and refi nement that guarantees its elegant balance.

Production notes

this great wine is the result of a wise coupage of cabernet grapes, obtained through the Double Reasoned Maturation (DMR)technique, which is applied directly in the vineyard. This technique consists of clamping some branches before the grapes reach a complete maturation, so that the grapes start to age while still on the vine, resulting in a greater concentration of sugar that gives more structure and strength to the wine.

Tasting notes

the selected healthy grapes are crushed are then placed in small vats to ferment where we perform the maceration, that allows a maximum extraction of color and tannins, resulting in a harmonic, hot, persistent wine. The wine is then aged into cement vats for 24 months, after that our staff performs a sensory test, deciding when is the best time to bottle the wine. After the bottling the wine is then aged further for at least 6 months.
