This deep red wine reveals remarkable aromatic complexity, with predominant spicy
and wild notes, complemented by hints of forest and a subtle touch of pine. On the palate, it is exceptionally elegant and delicate, with firm yet smooth tannins. Characterized by a vibrant and expressive attack, it unfolds with impressive breadth, culminating in a finish of great persistence and elegance.
Food Pairing

Aging
Matured for 36 months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle aging to achieve greater harmony and complexity.
