MaturationThe wine-making process follows a tried-and-true traditional method, which enhances its complexity and structure. Fermentation and maceration typically last for 22 to 25 days in steel tanks. This carefully controlled phase allows the aromas and tannins to develop optimally and achieve the desired balance. After fermentation, the wine is gently pressed using a traditional vertical press to preserve the purity and quality of the must. The wine then matures for 18 months in oak barrels. This maturation period in wood significantly contributes to the development of its multi-layered aromas and elegant structure, with notes of vanilla, spices, and roasted aromas harmoniously integrating into the overall profile of the wine. Following the barrel aging, a further refinement takes place over 6 months in the bottle. This step ensures a gentle rounding of the aromas, which have been refined over time, and a harmonization of its bouquet. Through this careful aging process, the wine gains impressive depth, complexity, and a long-lasting finish that will delight in the glass.
