| Maturation |
From start to finish, chemicals are avoided, allowing the wine to develop its authentic essence. The wine's journey begins with destemming the grapes, a crucial step to prevent bitter notes that would detract from the finished product. Gently pressed with an old wooden press, the juice is delicately extracted from the berries. This loving method preserves the delicate aromas and precious juice while avoiding unwanted bitterness from the grape seeds. Natural fermentation, a process of magic and science, timelessly transforms the sugar in the grapes into alcohol. Once fermentation is complete, the young wine is separated from the skins to preserve its purity and balance and to avoid an overabundance of tannins. For the next six months, the wine rests in a still tank, a precise environment that allows it to develop a rich aromatic character. After this maturation, the wine takes its place in bottles, where it gains further perfection for two years. The long bottle aging allows the flavors to miraculously refine, giving the wine time to fully develop and reach a state of sublime harmony and depth. This careful and leisurely process results in a wine that is remarkable not only for its taste qualities but also for the dedication and respect for nature that is evident in every stage of production.

| Scent |
The wine opens with an impressive bouquet that immediately captivates the senses. From the first breath, a rich interplay of aromas unfolds, exuding both freshness and depth. At the forefront of this aromatic journey are juicy, sun-kissed raspberries, whose sweetness is gentle yet vibrant. They are complemented by the unmistakable lightness of strawberries, reminiscent of a warm summer's day when the fruits are harvested fully ripe. Beneath this fruity surface, the complexity of the wine gradually unfolds. A layer of dried plums introduces a mysterious, dark note, reminiscent of the maturity and depth of a well-aged wine cellar. These tones provide a welcome grounding to the freshness, offering a balance that is both fascinating and comforting. But the wine tells even more stories. Fine nuances of light spices, perhaps a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg, resonate in the background, as if gently dancing with the fruit notes. A delicate undertone of vanilla accompanies the aroma, a hint of the oak aging that gives the wine its elegant roundness and smoothness. As the wine breathes in the glass, the aromas continue to evolve, revealing nuances reminiscent of wild herbs and subtle floral notes, almost like a walk through a blooming garden in the early evening. This multi-layered aroma of the wine is a testament to its origin and careful production. The harmony between the different fragrances speaks to the quality and sublimity of the wine, and each sip is a delightful dance of flavors and impressions that both caresses the palate and seduces the mind.
