How it is produced

Afterwards, the wine rests in French oak barrels for a period ranging from sixteen to twenty months, according to the specific needs of the blend. A final ageing of about six months perfects its balance. The deep bouquet weaves together hints of flint and cherry with tertiary aromas of graphite, humus, tobacco, juniper and nutmeg.
