After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in 225 liters barriques, including 5% new barrels. Radiant ruby red wine with captivating aromas. Matured red fruit notes intertwine with hints of lavender and spiced tobacco. On the palate, the wine reveals balance, with silky and vibrant tannins contributing to a refreshing experience, concluding in a lingering finish. Pairs seamlessly with cheese, charcuterie, caprese salads, grilled vegetables, poultry, and red meat.
