Sourced from 40-year-old vines on a southwest-facing slope, the wine undergoes an extensive 60-month aging process in large Slavonian oak casks, resulting in a structured and textured profile. On the nose, it reveals dark fruit aromas complemented by tart berries, shaved mineral, cola, and mint, evoking the experience of walking through vineyard rows in summer. The palate is marked by ample structure and fleshiness, delivering a textured and balanced experience. Notably, this vintage stands out as a favorite among Cavallotto's offerings, with a limited production of just under 7,000 bottles.Ageing/Vinification: Fermented with indigenous yeasts, macerated with submerged cap for 20-35 days.
