Information

Elegant, well-balanced, pleasant with a rich bouquet: an amazing wine with a captivating taste for everyday drinking that pairs well with many different dishes.

Growing Season

Mild autumn wit little rainfall. Heavy snowfall in February with cold temperatures for several days. The spring was mild with average temperatures between 15 and 18°C; a little rainfall concentrated in the month of April allowed normal budbreak and good flowering.
The summer came early with high temperatures and a total absence of rain from mid June to the end of August. In early September abundant rainfall refresh the ground and the air allowing the vines to resume the ripening process and complete it in the best possible way.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant ruby red. Ample red berry fruits and zesty flavors. Vivacious persistence and nice spicy taste in the mouth. Beautiful vanilla touches give length to the wine.
