Characteristics
This wine expresses a very complex aromatic profile ranging from the cherry and fragrant fruit notes of Merlot to the spicy notes of Syrah.

The structure is very pleasing thanks to a perfect balance between Cabernet's tannins and the residual sugar given by Merlot and Syrah which, together, make the wine viscous, rich, full bodied and smooth at the same time.Pairings: this wine is perfect to serve with moderately spicy salami, rich and succulent first courses, cooked and grilled red meats as well as moderately mature cheeses.

Vinification
Vinification is carried out by adding selected yeasts for several days with periodical gentle pumpover to obtain a very powerful wine with an aromatic profile of ripe fruit. Afterwards Cabernet is aged in wood for some months and it is only at the end of this ageing period that it is blended with a Syrah-Merlot base, giving it notes of raisin, a robust and full-bodied character plus delicate and elegant notes of oak.
