Veraison in the third week of August, which extends to early September.
The maduration runs properly during the first fortnight of September, and abundant rainfall during the rest of the month. October shows fresh nights that allowed us to reach a correct phenolic and aromatic maturity. The harvest began on October 15th, with soft temperatures and the absence of rain, the fruit was picked up with almost perfect sanitary conditions.
Lamb
In the nose, there is a predominance of fruit aromas (blackberry, cranberry and wild forest fruits) over the notes of oak, perfectly integrated, which reminds one of cedar and tobacco.
In the mouth, it is serious and lively with intensity and great balance. An expansive palate combines fresh fruit and an elegant structure for a wine with great ageing potential.
