Tasting note

“It has ripe black fruit, aromatic Mediterranean herbs and generous spice and smoke with a graphite note. All of these reds reach 15% alcohol and are powerful and full-bodied, made to last. Warmer vintages tend to have a softer texture and gentle acidity with round tannins and a long, lingering finish.”

Vintage 2018

With a snowfall in February 2018 has been a year with abundant rainfall in spring and autumn, with records well above average. Very high temperatures peaks during the day in July and August. A warm September refreshed again by the rain to obtain healthy, tasty and very balanced grapes.
