Harvest and year description

Start of the year with temperatures well above average with little or no rainfall. Nice and regular rains in spring with high temperatures. Strong mistral winds and sporadic rain in summer. Very rainy September which however did not delay the harvest given the high temperatures. Harvest started on September 17th.

Vinification

Careful selection of the grapes, harvested by hand in small boxes. Destemming of the bunches and subsequent mashing. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures 26-28° C. Repeated pumping over and delestage ensure good extraction of the aromatic and coloring components.

Refinement

Storage in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature and then aging at least 6 months in the bottle. Production: 1000 bottles.

Tasting notes

Ruby red colour with purple highlights. Intense and persistent scent with relevant notes of ripe fruit and jam. Full and harmonious flavour, with persistent fruity notes.

  • Serving temperature: 16-18° C
  • Alcohol content: 14 %
  • Residual sugar: 0,12 gr/l
  • Total acidity: 6 g/l
