Generalidades

Tasting Notes (Recomendado):Strong, warm, velvety and persistent to the palate. It’s a robust, generous bodied wine, devoted to a long ageing through which he can express with generosity all its potential

Viñedo

% de uvas / cepa (tipo de vino):100% Merlot

Tipo de cosecha:The grape harvest for our Super Tuscan lasts only one day. We manually harvest giving a special care to each bunch integrity. Before going into the stalk-remover, the grapes are further selected through a conveyor belt on which another final sorting of the bunches is made

Vinificación (elaboración del vino)

Método:Traditional vinification, in small size tanks using selected yeasts and a long maceration of the marc. The ageing in wood starts right after the malo-lactic fermentation in the month of January following the harvest. The wine is poured into French oak barrels with the capacity of 225 lt and 300 lt. Here it rests for 15/16 months. The ageing in bottle lasts at least 6 months in thermo-controlled areas.
