We have run out of stock for this item.

From the limestone-covered pebbles and gravel soils of Gualtallary, lying at 1,400 meters above sea level. 85% of the wine was matured in 3,500 ltr untoasted foudres for 20 months, while the remaining 15% was aged in concrete vats before resting in bottle for one year. The nose is herbaceous and shows fruity and saline notes, with very present aromas of graphite, as well as thyme, blueberries, plums, and violets. This is a structured wine with firm tannins that are beautifully balanced by fresh fruit notes and minerality.
