"IDEA OF WINE: Wine made for drinkers that are seeking natural products without the chemical substance know as “sulphur dioxide.”

VINIFICATION: Soft crushing and de-stemming, fermentation with natural yeasts and without adding sulphur dioxide. Maceration for 40 days on skins, in order to keep all the polyphenols, good for the natural protection of the wine from oxidation due to the lack of SO².

COLOUR: Bright Red

NOSE: An intense and complex perfume with hints of red berries and notes of vanilla.

TASTE: The tannins are light at first, and then they become stronger and silky, clean and dry ending.

RECOMMENDED WITH: Best served with good strong-flavoured first courses, roasted meat, red meat and game."
