It is then soft pressed and again left in steel containers to undergo malolactic fermentation, before being aged for a short time in barrels. After bottling, it is allowed to age a few months more in glass before being sold.
Organoleptic characteristics: Seductive and intriguing ruby red in the glass. An elegant bouquet of sweet violet and an aroma of blackberry, blueberry and cherry alongside the quinine and graphite typical of the grape variety. In the background, notes of spice, earth and dark tobacco. Warm to the palate with robust tannins. A persistent finish with toasted and fruity notes.
