Description:

A brilliant ruby ​​red color, it opens with an intense and persistent bouquet of red fruits, dried violets, and wild rose, with earthy and vanilla nuances. The palate is very pleasant and balanced, with silky, yet not overbearing, long-lasting tannins and a good body. It pairs excellently with local cured meats and stews, as well as soups and spicy, medium-aged cheeses.

A Bordeaux-derived grape that thrives in the Aosta Valley, here in Guyot-trained vineyards located at low altitude on moderately sloping morainic soils. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel for 10 days, with frequent pumping over, and then it is aged in stainless steel for another 8 months.
