VINIFICATION: Traditional red wine vinification at a controlled temperature between 25 and 27 °C. The harvest is carried out in two different times, the first harvest is at the beginning of September. The second one, from which the grapes come from for this wine, is Mid October. The slight surmaturation of the grapes permits to obtain major concentration. After the accurate hand harvest, grapes are pressed and the fermentation starts; the skins are left in the must for a long period to extract flavors and the characteristic ruby red color. Subsequently the wine is left in oak for about 3 or 4 months; this aging gives the pleasant notes of spices and vanilla |
