These elements contribute to defining a wine of personality, with good tension, freshness, and a solid structure. The red vinification involves a long maceration on the skins at controlled temperature, followed by aging in French oak barriques and Slavonian oak barrels, as well as a long resting period in the bottle. The result is an important red, built to combine substance, balance, and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e.
