Subsequently ceramic amphora and concrete tank for another 12 months. Since 2017, maturation can take place in Austrian oak barrels.
Complex nose of Rose and Hazelnut, then small red fruits, undergrowth, foliage, hints of Truffle and lots of Marnic minerality. Ethereal, on the finish there are smoky, licorice and tobacco notes
