INFOS

Presentation

This wine is the jewel in the crown of the estate: a selection of the best plots, sorting to keep only the best berries, separate vinification in small stainless steel vats and aging in barrels coupled with aging in amphoras and jars.

This wine is delicate, elegant, complex... A rare wine produced in small quantities.
