Élevage for 24 months in a 500 liter Italian Terracotta Amphora and a 225 liter neutral oak barrel. Racked and bottled during descending moons with no additions.

Bright limestone acidity and balanced tannin with bay leaf and eucalyptus under cherry plum fruit. Lingering finish, perfect with barbequed vegetables or red meat. -Gelert
