Producer tasting notes: "Intense and brilliant ruby ??red with refined garnet reflections. Complex bouquet full of expressions with an attack of fresh and inviting fruity notes, especially small black berries, followed by subtle sweet spicy hints and elegant balsamic hints with a dried tobacco leaf finish. Long, lively and at the same time silky tannins, well supported by a good level of acid freshness, a large volume and an opulent body with an admirable final result in terms of harmony, integration and balance of the components." - La Serena

aging in wooden barrels of 20-40 hectoliters. The production disciplinary provides for a minimum period of aging in wood of 24 months, in La Serena we expect the natural aging process which is never the same but depending on the grapes and the vintage it can reach up to 30 months.
