Savory, fruity, fresh, and tannic, just right for an excellent wine aged one year in oak barrels and another year in the bottle.

Harvest: the harvest is manual, generally carried out from the first decade of September. Each grape is vinified separately.

Winemaking: during the harvest, the grapes are carefully selected. After destemming, red vinification is carried out with fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The fermentations last from twenty-four to thirty days depending on the clone and the quality of the grapes in relation to the vintage. Isei is a wine obtained from several wines vinified separately. After racking, each wine is aged separately in steel, and for the international varieties, selected French oak barrels are used for each, both new and first and second passage. The wines are aged in wood for at least one year. After a year, the first batches are selected that will undergo another year of aging. Finally, after careful selection, the final blend is generated and bottled. Bottle aging lasts at least three months. The wine is generally ready three years after the harvest.
