The color is a brilliant ruby red with vibrant purplish highlights. The bouquet is fresh, fruity, and very precise. Floral notes of violet are immediately recognizable, along with red fruits such as raspberry and pomegranate, and delicate spicy hints of pink pepper and clove. On the palate, the tannins are vibrant yet pleasant, and together with the marked acidity, they provide a fresh, enjoyable character and excellent drinkability.

Vinification and maturation
The grapes are hand-selected and harvested from the north-facing vineyard slopes. In the winery, they are destemmed and gently crushed before being transferred to stainless steel tanks, where fermentation takes place with native yeasts. Maceration is managed through daily short pump-overs and lasts approximately 10 to 12 days. After racking, the wines are blended and left to age on the fine lees for 7 to 8 months. Bottling is carried out during the summer months.
