The vines, and the soil where they stand, need love and care to grow. Their vineyards fill them with a wave of deep, powerful emotions. This helps them obtain the desired results after all the effort and care they put into their work at the winery. They also give special attention to the environment, which has a major impact on the wines—the sun that rises every day, the bugs that live in the soil, the birds that nest in the pines, and even the poppies pollinated by bees.

Tasting
Fresh and flavorful, with the best of ripe fruit and good wood aging. A covered cherry color and a spicy jammy nose, its feel is juicy, almost lactic, with memories of licorice and fine, sweet barrel-derived nuances. It manages to refresh itself thanks to its correct acidity and enveloping balsamic feel.
Food pairings
Steak au poivre, Venison, Hard cheese.
