Bright ruby red in colour with purple reflections. The nose is expressive and fruity, with aromas of red rose, blackberry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spicy and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh and supple, with a beautiful balance between ripe red fruit and lively acidity. Soft tannins provide structure, while the fruity and spicy notes return on the pleasant finish.

Vinification
The grapes come from the organically farmed Munti vineyards, with vines averaging more than 10 years of age. The vineyards are situated on gentle slopes with deep, highly organic soils, and the vines are trained using the Guyot system. The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in 14 kg crates. After gentle destemming, the wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration for approximately one week. It is then aged for around 12 months in stainless steel tanks, followed by approximately four months of bottle ageing.
