The vines are manually harvested and 100% destemmed. Fermentation and maceration takes place in traditional concrete vats for about 3 weeks followed by daily pumping over accompanied by regular and careful punching down.  Tasting notes: Lively ruby red color. Intense aromatics of red raspberry and licorice. Allow it to breathe for 15 minutes and it will reward you with raspberry, cherry, tobacco and orange peel flavors on a body that is medium in weight with soft tannins. Really lovely and complex, with a good degree of finesse This is a wine to enjoy today or will keep for 10 years Food Suggestion: Perfect with a rib of beef with mashed potatoes and olive oil, or roasted lamb.
