This is very nicely done.
Delicious and good value.
A complex bouquet with notes of black cherry, fruits of the wood and rich violet, accompanied by marked vanilla notes. Optimal consistency and roundness with pleasantly tannic finish.
Suitable for vegans.

Tasting Notes
Ruby red color with garnet hues. Subtle bouquet with hints of sour black cherry, wild berries and violet accompanied by vanilla nuances. On the palate, it’s round and full of body, with a persistent and slightly tannic finish.
Food Pairing
Savory pastas, grilled or roasted meats and game.
Winemaking Notes
After crushing, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks by selected yeasts. Fermentation’s temperature is contained within 28-30°C and the must is pumped over its skins twice a day to draw color and tannin. After 10-15 days the wine is separated from the skins. After 12-14 months aging in French oak barrels (Allier, Nevers and Vosges), the maturation continues in big oak casks of 30-60 hectoliters for a further 6-8 months. After bottling, the wine is refined for at least 12 months in bottle before release.
