MaturationThe wine's development is characterized by careful and precise vinification. It began with a 20-day maceration period, during which the temperature was strictly controlled between 28 and 30 °C. During this time, a gentle extraction process was employed, with regular submersion of the cap to optimally extract aromas, color, and tannins from the grape skins. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 16 months in new and partially once-used French barriques and tonneaux, which are different-sized barrels made of French oak. This aging method gives the wine a complex and nuanced structure by adding subtle wood aromas and balancing its natural flavors and tannins. The entire process underscores the commitment to producing a wine of high quality and elegance, distinguished by its depth and finesse.

The first sip reveals a full-bodied palette of aromas, ranging from the earthy depth of black truffles to the gentle, spicy note of cloves. These aromas harmonize perfectly with the powerful tones of dark cherry, while a subtle hint of plum lends a velvety smoothness to the palate. On the palate, the wine presents itself with great power and elegance, with the well-integrated fruit, together with distinctive tannins, creating an expressive structure. These tannins not only give the wine body but also a pleasant backbone that promises longer storage and aging. In the finish, the wine leaves a slightly austere impression, which, however, becomes a harmonious and captivating experience due to the persistent fruitiness and spice. Overall, this multi-layered wine invites you to discover it and unfolds more of its fascinating complexity with every sip.
