A wine produced in a genuine pago, a unique terroir about which the winery learns something new every year, making each vintage better than the previous one. The vineyards are located at the foot of a hill, protected on the north by a mountain range and facing south toward two natural lakes. The climate is extreme—very cold winters and hot summers with minimal rainfall. The soil has pebbles on the surface (perfect drainage), clay subsoil with a high retention potential (for this reason, vines in summer suffer a moderate water stress), and a layer of slate below that works as a basin.
A fruity and dry red with blackberry and vanilla character and hints of walnuts. Medium to full body and firm, lightly chewy tannins. Drink now.
