Constant-temperature refinement in steel tanks with nitrogen charging until whine is bottled, usually before the beginning of the summer.

 Organoleptic features: Colour: very clear, dark cherry-red.

Fragrance: predominant fruit flavour, with berries and ripe cherry hints which also give the colour to this wine.

Taste: fresh and well balanced, slightly tannic hints which do not revel the red-grape origin. Warm and balanced body.
