The international varieties give volume and freshness that is significant for the future evolution of the wine. After the alcoholic fermentation, maceration, and malolactic, AVA Selecciò stays for 12 months in new and used French oak barrels to complete the aging process that will provide the complexity desired.

The wine is bottled after a light clarification that gives limpidity and brightness.

TASTING NOTES:

Cherry red with purple nuances, of hue medium-high, clean, and bright. The main aromas are of red fruits with a fresh character, followed by light touches of smoke and spices, hints of undergrowth and herbaceous. Deep, sharp wine, characteristic from the vintage, the freshest in the last 10 years. The oak is well integrated with the wine.

On the mouth the attack is pleasant, and the mouthfeel is full, fresh, and fruity. The aftertaste is fairly long with the character of the vintage.
