Vinification in steel and concrete tanks, with cryomaceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts for 20-25 days. Aged for at least 2 years in French oak barriques and then aged in bottle for at least 6 months. A blend of alternating fruit, flowers, and minerals. Bright ruby red color with garnet highlights. A sensation of enveloping richness and complexity, with fruit, spice, and higher alcohols alternating with flavors of fruit jam and forest floor, followed by tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, combined with minerality, enhancing the depth of the assemblage. It finishes with persistence and a mellow sweetness. Awarded 4 points by the Italian Sommelier Foundation (FIS) and 95/100 Vinous. It pairs well with rich and delicate white and red meat dishes with robust and spicy sauces, excellent with flavorful, mature cheeses and game.
