VINIFICATION

Grapes are picked by hand. After a careful selection process, a mixture of whole bunches and partially destemmed bunches are placed in tanks. Macerations take place in cement and stainless steel tanks over a period of 15-20 days. Depending on the nature of each vintage, maturation continues in tank for between 8 and 12 months. We prefer long, traditional vinifications so that the grapes can fully express the character of their origins.

AROMA

Rich fruit aromas.

PALATE

Notes of sweet spices and floral hints.
