Cellar Notes: This wine is a blend of three autochthonous varietals. After alcoholic and then malolactic fermentation in stainless, the wine is raised in (50% second use, 50% new) barriques for 10-12 months.

Tasting Notes: Deep ruby-red color, consisting of bright burgundy reflections. Intense and persistent aromas of spice and fruit, with notes of mature fruit and a light almond flavor on the palate. Round and soft with integrated tannins providing an overall good structure. A very elegant wine to pair perfectly with roasted game, braised meats, and flavorful cheeses.
