Malolactic fermentation follows at a controlled temperature of 20°C. Aging in large oak barrels for at least 18 months, followed by bottle aging for 4/6 months. Intense ruby red with purple hues, broad aroma, immediately of red fruit, sour cherries, and ripe cherries. The large barrel gives it natural complexity, without leaving woody notes; the vanilla is very light. Wide, enveloping, and intense taste, with a long persistence, important and dense texture. The aftertaste recalls the pleasant sensations of the aroma of ripe fruits, with a slightly spicy finish. Pairings: dishes from great cuisine, grilled meats, game, aged cheeses, boiled meats.
