Full of black fruit, imagine current and damson jam, paired with tertiary aromas like chocolate and truffle. Tastes almost like an Amarone with much higher acidity and precise balance, smooth and velvety tannins, a wine with real power!

This and a fireplace are a match made in heaven.

Vinification

The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented in open vat fermenter for 4 weeks with gentle extraction. The wine ages in used Slavonian barrels for 3 years before bottling.

2011 was a colder year, slightly later ripening. Resulting in wines with more linear structure.

2016 warm and wet, challenging year, low yields exceptional quality. Wines are richer and more concentrated.
