Maturation

The wine is crafted with meticulous care, evident in every sip. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted, ensuring that only the finest berries are used to guarantee the highest quality. A moderate maceration on the skins allows for the extraction of intense colors and aromas, while alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled, natural concrete vats. This method preserves the integrity of the flavors and ensures that the wine develops its distinctive character. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, resulting in a smooth texture and pleasantly rounded acidity. Subsequently, the wine matures for at least 18 months in new French oak barriques, which are medium-toasted and sourced from Burgundy. This aging in wood imparts complex notes of vanilla, spices, and subtle wood warmth to the wine. The aging process is completed with a bottle aging of at least 12 months. This additional maturation phase allows the wine to integrate its aromas and develop into a harmonious composition before it is finally ready to be enjoyed. This extraordinary attention to detail and quality in the winemaking process ensures that the wine offers an unparalleled experience both on the nose and on the palate.

Serving suggestion

This wine pairs excellently with a variety of delicious dishes. For lovers of red meat, it is recommended to enjoy it with a perfectly roasted steak or a tender piece of lamb.
