Territory and wine style

The location, natural aeration, and complete ripening of the grapes contribute to creating a Merlot rich in personality, with structure, depth, and an elegant profile. Manual harvesting and careful selection of the grapes reflect the attention given to the quality of the raw material, while aging in new French barriques adds complexity and definition to the sip.
