Vintage

The 2023 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, promoting optimal grape ripening. The weather allowed for a perfect harvest, with healthy, ripe fruit. This vintage promises expressive aromatics and a harmonious profile. Limited yield and careful selection of grapes resulted in a refined wine. The wine reflects the year's characteristics with finesse and elegance.

Vinification & Aging

Harvested grapes at optimal ripeness are destemmed and undergo extended maceration to extract color and tannins. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for about 12 months, with regular racking. Barrique aging enhances structure and adds subtle oak notes. The approach aims to preserve fruit purity while adding complexity and finesse.
