TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The must is given a maceration on the skins for some 20 days in 16hl amphora, the cap being managed twice daily. After alcoholic fermentation the wine matures in 16hl amphoras for 12 months. No filtration.

SENSORY INFORMATION
Introducing this wine is a deep, intense red, which shades into garnet with aging. The nose offers an elegant array of complex aromatics, the result of a marriage between floral notes of violets and fruity impressions of morello cherry and bottled blueberries. Amphora aging maintains exuberant fruity notes and smooths the tannins.
The finish is quite long, and is marked by the aromas already met on the nose.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Delicious with roasts and grilled game, as well as with aged cheeses.
