Grapes are picked up manually in October, using little boxes, and then destemmed and softly pressed. It follows the traditional vinification in red at controlled temperature of 22°-24°C and the aging in barriques. The bottling takes place around the end of the following year, after the harvest.

Perfect with red roasted meat. Excellent also to be enjoyed on its own.
