The grapes used in the production of this wine are harvested manually and subjected to a pre-fermentative maceration process at low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for a period of 6 months.
Intense and bright ruby color. On the nose, it has intense fruity aromas, with hints of red and black fruits. In the mouth, it is an elegant and balanced wine, with smooth tannins and a long finish.
