How it looks
Light ruby red.
Aroma
From the very first impression, the wine stands out for its freshness and purity. Aromas of fresh plum and red berries are complemented by hints of black pepper and a subtle spicy note on the finish.
Taste
An approachable and easy-drinking wine. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant freshness, supported by fine, delicate tannins. The spicy notes perceived on the nose return on the finish, providing a pleasant persistence. It is also enjoyable when served slightly chilled.
Perfect match with
TAM Risotto with seasonal mixed mushroom. Hand-cut beef tartare. Lightly aged cow’s milk cheeses. Also enjoyable as an aperitif.
Vinification
Manual grape harvest in mid-September. Maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Aging
Maturation in stainless steel tanks for at least one year.
Vintage
This vintage is marked by healthy, high-quality grapes. A mild August with cool nights promoted the development of fine aromas and rich hues. Yields were slightly higher than last year. Warm and mostly dry September allowed for a calm and well-planned harvest, ensuring balance and optimal ripeness.
