HARVESTHand-harvested from late September to early October

VINIFICATIONFollowing destemming and light crushing, the Bovale was

transferred for fermentation into buried amphorae, each

264 gallons, where maceration on the skins lasted up to

30-35 days. The Carignane was vinified separately in

stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Vinification took place naturally with native yeasts.

AGING & REFININGMalolactic fermentation and aging took place partly in 264

and 528 gallon barrels and partly in new Tonneaux for

12-15 months. Aging in bottles followed for about six

months. The wine was not clarified or filtered.

TASTING NOTESThe nose has a mix of black fruits, combined with a spiciness

reminiscent of licorice and vanilla bean with an elegant

balsamic flavor. Excellent acidity and structured tannins.

Pairing: Red meats, wild game and rich cheese
