Grapes, hand-picked in small boxes, undergo a meticulous sorting process. Initially sorted on a first selection belt, they are then destemmed and subjected to a second round of sorting on another selection belt. Subsequently, they are carefully delivered into wooden vats for fermentation.

The grapes, manually plunged by foot, undergo maceration for 10 to 15 days to ensure a gentle yet thorough extraction of aromas and high-quality tannins. Following racking, the wine briefly settles before gravity-feeding into lightly toasted French barriques (5% new), where it completes malolactic fermentation. After 12 months in barrels, it is transferred to cement vats for an additional 6 months of maturation before bottling.

Shimmering ruby with a slight garnet rim. On the nose, it opens with decidedly mature notes of dried plums, plenty of blackberries, and a hint of blackcurrant. On the palate, the tannin is finely woven, developing in multiple layers, alongside a sweet, well-integrated fusion that is long and smooth.
