Green apple, stone fruit, spicy white pepper with a hint of herbaceous notes. Refreshing minerality breaks through the multilayered luscious viscosity on the pallet. Astonishing depth and elegance on the finish.

Vinification

Numen refers to a metaphysical action that man can not influence. Accordingly, this wine is made completely without intervention. The idea was to let a wine "emerge" give it the necessary time and use the full potential of the old vines. The wine was fermented in amphora with whole bunches for a few days, then gently pressed by hand and aged for 16 months on the lees. Bottled without sulphites, fining or filtration.

2015 was a hot and dry vintage, resulting in wines with bigger body. Balanced year in terms of rainfall lowered the yield, as a result the finished wines are more concentrated and have longer finish.
