Notes de dégustation: 121 b.C. Carmenere is the result of a rigorous selection of grapes from a single vineyard, grown on volcanic soils that impart unique warmth and character. Crafted with minimal intervention, the harvested grapes ferment spontaneously in Austrian oak tonneaux without temperature control. Subsequently, the wine continues its aging in the same barriques for 36 months, before completing its evolutionary journey with an additional 12 months in the bottle. The color appears as an intense ruby red, enriched by lively purple reflections—a sign of its remarkable structure. On the nose, the wine offers a complex and enveloping bouquet: elegant notes of wild violet, plums, and marasca preserved as confettura, enriched by delicate hints of medicinal and balsamic herbs, and rounded out by toasted aromas reminiscent of cocoa nibs and tobacco, all set against a mineral backdrop of graphite and spicy accents such as black pepper, turmeric, and licorice root, with an intriguing hint of blood and leather. On the palate, it distinguishes itself with graceful elegance and a perfect balance between finesse and power. The well-integrated tannins and harmonious structure deliver a horizontally persistent taste sensation, leading to a delightfully savory finish.
