The grapes are fermented at 20 to 22 °C with skins and seeds in granite vessels and traditionally worked by foot. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months on the fine lees in chestnut casks; it is then filtered. In the glass, it shows a very dark violet colour, with aromas of wild berries, jam, vanilla and spices. The body is powerful and concentrated, while the texture is soft; the acidity typical of the origin remains a defining feature. Production for the vintage was approximately 2,300 bottles.
