An exuberant embrace of softness and intensity, where exquisitely refined tannins blend with intriguing spicy notes.
Notes of dried rose and violet lend it a velvety finish.

In autumn, the Northern Hemisphere experiences very distinctive climatic conditions. During the so-called Indian summer, which coincides with the Nocte grape harvest, significant temperature variations between day and night favour the development of aromatic precursors — compounds that will later contribute to the wine’s aromas.

For several years, we have been analysing the aromatic differences in grapes harvested at night, observing a predominance of fruity notes. We continue our research to establish whether night harvesting enhances the wine’s aromatic profile.
