GRAN RESERVA
The name is inspired by the word “virtue”, and the product speaks for itself. It is a synonym for power, force, effectiveness, strength. By giving priority to the unique properties of the grape over its ageing process and giving a voice to its essence, we have been able to make a balanced, complex and velvety wine, with an intense nose. It is a wine based on the organic red grape variety, supported by the manual work of green pruning, leaf removal and thinning of grape clusters. We seek the toasty, smoky and spicy notes to surround and support the expression of the variety.
