Production notes
After the grapes are harvested by hand in small crates they are quickly brought to the winery where they are manually selected on a belt-conveyor. Then they are destemmed and not completely crushed, and sent to truncated cone shaped wooden vat, where they macerate for about 10/12 days atatemperature of 22/25 °C. On a daily basis many times per day, the grapes on maceration are manually punched down with the usage of a pneumatic fulling machine. After fermentation, the grapes are left to macerate for few days more, than wine is separated from grape skins, which are pressed with a traditional vertical press. The wine obtained is aged in wooden barrels of 25 hectoliters, 18 months before being bottled.
Tasting notes
Ruby red, rich and complex on the nose, remembers blackberries and black cherry. Delicate hint of wood. On the palate is complex with an extraordinary persistence.
