COLOR Brilliant, attractive and warm rubyred color. BOUQUET Ample and remarkably complex, with vinous and characteristic tones. FLAVOR Dry on the palate and gracious, with delicate and soft veining and a fine and harmonious balance.

The stems are separated from the grapes, which are softly pressed in cylinders under pressure gently breaking their skins and releasing the juice. The juice is left to macerate on the skins for about a week in rotating temperature controlled stainless steel vini? ers at a temperature of about 8286°F. The wine is then placed to age in large Slavonian oak casks.
