Tasting Notes - Palate: Elegant on the palate, evolving into a firm wine, with excellent volume and a compact structure made of fresh, velvety-textured tannins. This is a wine with a distinctive identity and a long lingering, balanced finish | Vintage / Winemaking: he grapes, coming from the old vines, were taken to the winery in plastic boxes and inspected on a sorting table on arrival. The grapes were then completely destemmed and slightly crushed. After this, the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks and fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks |
