Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging for at least 24 months in barriques and large barrels. In the glass, the wine has an intense garnet red hue. The nose expresses aromas of ripe red fruit, spices and floral hints. in the mouth it is powerful, with soft tannins and a finish of good persistence.
