Grapes

Harvest
Manual harvest (third decade of September, selection of the best bunches exposed to the sun).
Vinification
After a period of natural over-ripening in the fruit cellar of between 90 and 110 days, pressing takes place in 50 hl truncated oak barrels. Fermentation (where the must is in contact with the skins for 30-40 days) takes place without the addition of yeast thanks to the integrity of the grapes.

Matured in 350-litre barriques for approx. 16-18 months, in 26 hl oak barrels for a further 10 months and finally in bottles for 6 months.
Gradation
The alcohol content is 16% Vol.
Pairings
It goes wonderfully with robust dishes such as game or roasts, very mature cheeses, but is also an excellent meditation wine.

Serve at a temperature of 18°-20°. Uncork at least two hours before serving.
Format
0.75 l bottle.
