Our signature wine. Different and modern. After the meticulous selection and production processes we choose the best musts, which we then transfer into new French and American oak barrels for a short period of time (5 to 6 months). This is a wine of very high colour intensity, demonstrating a perfect balance between the aromas of oak and fruit. The result is a wine with unique characteristics and optimum expression.
