Vintage
Thanks to a well-balanced vintage, the grapes were harvested by hand in the last ten days of September.
Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and the juice was collected by gravity, without pressing. The must obtained was moved and fermented in steel vats at a controlled low temperature.
Ageing
After fermentation, the wine remains on the fine lees for a time of about 50 to 60 days, then it is bottled and marketed after about two months.
Tasting notes
It has a rosy onion skin colour with notes of floral aromas. The taste is distinctly savoury and fresh, with notes of raspberry, tomato leaf and elegant herbaceous hints typical of the variety, together with a very slight tannic note.
