Early malolactic fermentation allows the wine to move into barriques as early as the beginning of December. Maturation in new fine-grained French oak barriques continues for a maximum of 16-18 months, after which the wine has acquired complexity, style, and longevity. A wine with a rich and complex profile, ideal for pairing with meat dishes and aged cheeses.
