Tasting Notes

This wine presents an elegant and fruit-forward bouquet, blending red berries with the earthiness of the forest floor, a dash of spices, and an intriguing hint of sardines. While it may appear restrained, there's an undeniable charm to its aromatic profile. The wine's good acidity adds to its freshness, making it quite appealing. The tannins are a bit dry, bordering on harsh, yet this characteristic doesn't detract from the wine's overall enjoyability.
About
The vineyard is located in the municipality of Treiso, at an altitude of 350 meters. Fermentation takes place in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank, equipped with an automatic and computerized pumping system, for 15 to 28 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in barrels for 26 months, 12 of which are in 400-litre French oak barrels, followed by 14 months in Slavonian oak barrels. The soil is clay-limestone, and the harvesting method is manual, with the harvest taking place in September-October. The bottle type used is albeisa.
