On the palate, it strikes a balance between richness and freshness, with a smooth texture and lively tension.

Vinification

The grapes undergo a two-week maceration on the skins, which imparts a deep, textured character and a touch of tannin, adding complexity and mouthfeel. Afterward, the wine is fermented and aged in a mix of 500-litre French oak barrels and amphora, which enhances its richness and subtle oxidative qualities. The combination of these ancient and traditional vessels brings out a beautiful balance between the wine's vibrant fruit and its savoury, mineral finish, offering something both elegant and intriguing.
