Simple, light fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, featuring undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Rustic, discreet profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it is an ancient variety whose commercial spread has virtually disappeared, studied for its genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented black variety grown in confidential quantities.

The word of the wine: Aging

Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
