The vines, nurtured by the mild climate and rooted in a one-of-a-kind terroir, reach perfect phenolic ripeness. Fermentation without the addition of yeasts and extended maceration allow the full potential of the fruit to be expressed, further enhanced by 12 months of aging in oak barrels. The result is a wine of great structure, rich and enveloping, that showcases the region’s true potential.
