Ruby red in color it displays purplish tinges. The nose is intense and complex. The vinous aromas of the wine immediately evolve into layers of floral notes of violet, fruity notes of blackcurrant, raspberry and bramble, and spicy hints of black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. In the mouth it is structured and offers a pleasant balance of fruit and fine-grained tannins and a long velvety finish.

Harvest is done by hand, each row of vines combed several times in order to pick only the perfectly ripe fruit. Further selection of the grapes takes place in the winery before vinification. Fermentation: temperature controlled fermentation (26-28°C) occurs in wooden vats with maceration on the skins and frequent pumpovers for about 15 days. After the wine is racked off it ages in second-fill French barriques for 12 months, then in the bottle for at least 3 months before release.
