This wine has a violet red color, with blackberry and blueberry scent, and slight nuances of pinewood and dry caruma. It is a fresh, young wine with a sweet but elegant palate. Contains sulfites.
The grapes were completely destemmed for stainless steel tanks where they macerated 24 hours at low temperature, before starting the alcoholic fermentation, with selected yeasts and controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasted about 12 days, with gentle remonstrances for a good extraction of color and aromas. It was aged in French oak barrels for 9 months until it reached the desired structure and potential before leaving for the market.
