Aroma
Nice expressive nose with balsamic notes and sweet spices, whose complexity is then ensured by delicate aromas of blackberries and wild strawberries, mint and violet.
Appearance
Brilliant garnet red turning slightly amber with time.
Palate
The entrance on the palate is striking, solid and compact, followed by a soft and refined structure that transforms towards a more slender and discreet style in the finish, where refined and moderately astringent tannins meet.
Vinification
Fermented in steel and concrete contenitors under strict temperature control (29C-31C), post-fermentation maceration, racked after 22/25 days, decanted, and by maintaining the right temperature malolactic process is induced. Several months of maturation in barrels on oak, thereafter a long period in bottle to complete the aging.
Cellaring Potential
Although easy to interpret, it will be possible to start drinking as early as 2020, it has a good aging capacity that will take it without problems until 2030.
Vintage Notes
The 2018 vintage benefited from a long and rainy winter: temperatures below the average of recent years allowed a slow and gradual vegetative restart of the vine, without spring frosts. Thanks to frequent rainfall and not too high temperatures, flowering and fruit set took place regularly and in optimal climatic conditions, without any thinning.
