Wine making:
Grapes are carefully selected by hand exactly at the point of their best phenolic and aromatic maturity. After being de-stemmed, a short skin contact, for about 3 hours, is carried out. The free run juice is fermented in a stainless steel tank at a controlled temperature of 16 - 18°C.
Tasting Note:
Soft coral colour. Clearly Mediterranean, it displays seductive aromas of red fruits and notes of blossomy herbs. The palate is silky and fresh with a long flavourful aftertaste of strawberry marmalade.
Food matches:
Perfect with the Mediterranean cuisine, as well as with vegetable dishes and pasta. Serve at 10°C - 12°C.
