SOIL: Acidic marine sands
SIZE: 1 hectare - planted at the highest point on the estate with optimal exposure
VINEYARD DENSITY: 4500 plants per hectare
ALCOHOL: 14.0% abv
TOTAL ACIDITY: 4.83 g/l

VINIFICATION: Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts for approximately 19 days in open stainless-steel tanks, followed by continued maceration in closed tanks on the skins for 7-15 days depending on vintage. Racked off the gross lees in mid-December but left in contact with the fine lees for another 8-9 months as the wine completes malolactic fermentation and clarifies naturally, which typically occurs in the spring.
AGING: 15 months in large 1,500-liter, medium-toast, oval oak barrels followed by 8 months in bottle.
COLOR: Ruby with hints of garnet; medium intensity.
NOSE: Elegant, high-toned, and refined. Abundant red cherry with hints of citrus including blood orange as well as fine spices such as tamarind, ginger, quinine, and black pepper. Subtle yet persistent minerality.
PALATE: Vibrant and tense. Generous red cherry with sweet tannins and a savory vein, finishing with abundant freshness. This wine rivals the greatest bottlings from Barbaresco and Barolo.
PAIRINGS: Ravioli “plin” with braised meat sauce, braised lamb.
