Aged a minimum of 7-8 years, it is made in new (30 percent) 400-liter Guasconia oak barrels.

Soil:

sandy-loamy

Grape varieties:

Tasting notes:

On the nose, spices, white flowers and dried fruit ennoble the taste. On the palate, silky tannins give superb length and remarkable freshness if one dwells on the elapsed time of the vintage.
