Tasting notes
Intense garnet color with bright red hues. Complex yet attractive nose of ripe fruit (plums, blackberry, and redcurrant), hints of sweet spice (clove, cinnamon), layers of coffee, cigar-box and the earthiness and minerality characteristic of all the wines made with the grapes sourced from the "Vina Lanciano" estate.
Aging
8 months in new French oak barriques and a further 7 months in new Russian oak barrels. Bottled unfiltered and unclarified to maintain all the subtle aromas and flavors, albeit producing natural sedimentation that may be found inside the bottle.
Food pairing
Ideal on its own. Combine with grilled meats, spicy dishes and aged cheese.
Grape Varieties
82% Tempranillo, 6% Mazuelo and 12% Graciano grapes hand-harvested from 35 and 40 year-old vines in the "Vina Lanciano" estate. The grapes were hand selected in two sorting tables so that only those grains in perfect sanitary and ripeness conditions are allowed into the next phase of vinification.
Winemaking
Malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels; finishing in the spring of 2012. During this process, the lees were stirred weekly to ensure maximum color and tannin extraction as well as a fuller mouthfeel.
