The grapes reach an<br />extraordinary level of ripeness here, expressing themselves in wines of the highest elegance that are perfectly balanced and remarkably pleasant.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />This merlot originates from low-yielding vineyards, where the most rigorous winemaking has been carried out. Once in the cellar, the grapes underwent manual selection,<br />allowing only the best berries to be sent to fermentation. At the end of fermentation, the resulting wine was placed in French oak barrels where it was aged for 12 months.<br /><br />THE WINE<br />Intense ruby red in colour. Sensations of red fruit, cherry, blackberry are perceived on the nose, then the sweetness of the variety and its integration with the wood come<br />out. Round, soft, intense, silky and elegant on the palate. Soft tannin, persistent and very pleasant.<br /><br />HARVEST TIME: FIRST TEN DAYS OF SEPTEMBER<br />VINIFICATION: MACERATION ON THE SKINS FOR 12 DAYS.
