This blend of Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache exemplifies a meticulous winemaking approach. Carbonic maceration brings out the vibrancy of the fruit and spices, while aging in tanks enhances the aromatic expression. The decision to harvest by hand and use double maceration reflects a commitment to complexity and freshness. The varied soils—granitic and schist—and the age of the vines enhance the distinct character of each grape variety before the final blend.
