INFOS

Presentation

Vinified for 4 generations, from great-grandfather to great-grandson, this wine is the very essence of our estate. Luscious, fruity and powerful, it can be adapted to any occasion. A wine for every table...

The vintage

The 2022 vintage is an exceptional one, perhaps the vintage of the century. Our vines have shown incredible resilience in the face of record drought and high temperatures, producing dense, concentrated, fresh and fruity red wines. This surprising vintage could well surpass previous ones and leave an indelible mark on the history of our vineyards.
