Tasting notes
Weak garnet red colour. The bouquet is initially winey then, when left to stand, it takes on the intense and persistent scent of flowers like roses and violets, and freshly picked fruit, blackcurrants, sour black cherries, raspberry, and strawberry, with a hint of cocoa. There is a slightly tart sensation to the palate, tempered by the fruity sweetness and subtle tannins.
Pairings
A wine that goes well with snacks and aperitifs with bread, salami and cheeses, or with a lunch where pasta is served, like tagliatelle, stuffed pasta, or spaghetti with meat sauce. Also ideal with simple meat dishes.
Why we like it
The freshly harvested grapes are destemmed and carefully pressed, then placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Racking is usually done before the end of the fermentation hence to avoid too much extraction of tannins. The fermentation is then brought to an end with the malolactic fermentation and subsequent dregs removal.
Ageing In steel containers at cellar temperature, until the bottling phase between April and May. It “doesn’t touch” wood.
