Producer’s notes
The estate describes a dark garnet colour, an elegant nose with fruity, spicy, balsamic and mineral notes, and a warm, powerful, balanced body with a long finish, able to age for fifteen years or more. The vineyard faces south at 300 to 350 metres, on clay and limestone; the wine macerates for 22 to 28 days.
