VINIFICATION AND AGEING
After the grapes are removed from the stalks and pressed, the must is fermented in keeping with traditional practices but with the use of rotating horizontal fermenting vats that assure delicate maceration of the skins. As a result, the wine takes on the colours, aromas and substances of the grapes from which it is derived. Once the vinifi cation has been completed, the wine is racked into oak barrels for maturation.

COLOUR
Bright, attractive and warm ruby-red colour.

BOUQUET
Fruity and fresh with vinous tones and welldefi ned scents of bitter almonds against a tenous background of wild berries.

FLAVOUR
Dry on the palate with delicate and soft veining and harmonious balance. The aftertaste is highly persistent and delectably clean.

SERVING TEMPERATURE
Serve at 16° - 18° C. (61° - 64° F.).

FOOD MATCHES
To be consumed throughout a meal, it makes a particularly fi ne accompaniment for all meat dishes, savoury preparations of the rural tradition and cheeses that have been aged for moderate periods.
