Color
Dark-ruby red, very concentrated, with hints of purple, which show the great vitality of this vintage.
Bouquet
Evolved and austere, with beautiful aromas of wild ripe red berries, leather and spices.
Taste
Powerful, big, round, yet extremely elegant. Great balance, and velvety sweet tannins. Silky and very persistent in the finish. Wonderful aging potential.

32.90 g/liter
Total Acidity (in Tartaric Acid)
5.72 g/liter
Volatile Acidity (in Acetic Acid)
0.61 g/liter
Soil Characteristics
With Eocene origins, rich in clay, which ensures a perfect drainage.
Vinification
In 80-hectoliter stain-less steel tanks, truncated-cone shaped, at controlled temperature, which never exceeds 32°C. First fermentation lasted 16 days. Thanks to the particular technical characteristics of these tanks, which also have a completely removable lid, the punch-down system is used, instead of the pump-over procedure, in order to achieve a better and gentler extraction, avoiding the use of pumps.
Aging
48 months in total, 36 of which in traditional Slavonian oak barrels (capacity 37-55.00 hl.)
Bottle-aging
Minimum 12 months of bottle aging before its release (end of January 2005). The wine was bottled in January 2004.
