These are joined by hints of air-dried ham, smoked meat and toasted barrique.

After the harvest, the grapes are immediately transferred to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging for several months in oak barrels.
