Winemaker's notes: The two-point harvest of the grapes gives a special complexity to this wine. The early harvest in January produces wines with a marked natural acidity that provides freshness, while the more mature harvest provides aromatic complexity of ripe red fruits, resulting in a lively, elegant wine with excellent appearance.
