This blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Pinot Noir is all manually harvested from a single vineyard in Gualtallary. The wine sees some carbonic maceration and has a huge vibrant nose of red fruit, violets, and caramel apple. Good acid lifts the midpalate with notes of rhubarb, red cherry, orange peel, ash, crushed stone, mushroom, gunpowder, and flint. Freshness and bright acid define this wine.

Aging: 6 months in large concrete vat

    This 100% carbonic maceration, like the fruity Beaujolais wines, has an air of pool red that enchants. It is refreshing, light, with firm acidity and full of flavors of ripe red fruits. It comes from vineyards planted in 2013 in the heights of Gualtallary, above 1,400 meters, and is not aged in barrels.
