Vinification and Aging

After harvesting, clusters are carefully selected on a sorting belt in the cellar, followed by a gentle crushing without destemming. The must ferments for 18 days at a controlled temperature of approximately 17°C, preserving the unique aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The resulting wine, still sweet, completes its journey in French oak barriques (Alliers & Tronçais) for about 6 months. Subsequently, it continues its refinement in stainless steel for an additional 2 years, ensuring extraordinary complexity and balance.

Sensory Characteristics

On the nose, notes of dried fruit, candied fruit, and subtle hints of saffron create an enveloping and fascinating bouquet. The palate is caressed by harmonious sweetness, balanced by a decisive and pleasant freshness. The pronounced aromatic persistence highlights not only the wine’s quality but also its extraordinary aging potential.
