James Suckling 90pt

Raspberries, mushrooms, white pepper and truffles on the nose. Juicy, savory and balanced, with a medium body and powdery tannins. Tasty and fresh finish.

by James Suckling, 2023

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at the perfect degree of sugar and phenol content, then destemmed and crushed. The resulting must is then allowed to macerate and ferment on the skins in steel vats. During this period, pumping over is carried out frequently to favour the transfer of colour and noble tannins from the skins to the fermenting must. After drawing-o , the end of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is awaited and the racking is carried out with the wine pouring under gravity into 2,500 litre French oak barrels in the cellar where it matures until the month of February, when it is bottled.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red color. Distinct, characteristic bouquet with evident notes of raspberry and wild berries. A pleasant, dry and slightly aromatic palate, with a subtle bright note and nice velvetiness.
