"We created Black Edition for cosmopolitan people that are looking for complexity and structure in their wines. It's our top label made annually from very old vines with the use of new French oak barrels. Black Edition gives a severe approach to our range. We use grapes with higher maturation but still keeping the style fresh and vibrant.”

- Tasting Note: The aroma of ripe wild fruits, such as blackberries and cherries. Complex, it tends to reveal itself throughout the tasting. It comes from ageing in barrels, which give it notes of spices and exotic woods. In the mouth, present acidity, with firm and mature tannins, well involved in its body and volume, transmitting a good feeling of freshness. It prolonged intense finish with excellent persistence
- Pairing: This wine goes well with red meats with rich, smooth flavours – some fish with structure and fat. Roasted, confit and sautéed food, with tomato, mushroom and autumn vegetable garnishes.
