Marcillac "Lo Sang del Pais" - Domaine du Cros

Sang del Pais is produced with the vine Le Fer Servadou, an autochthonous vine of South-West France. The fermentation is spontaneous in steel tanks and the wine remains in contact with the skins for three weeks. The next refinement is in steel and a few months in the bottle. Sang of pais has ruby ​​red color with purple reflections. At the nose the perfumes play between spices, pepper, red fruits and cassis. In the mouth is warm, fresh with mordable tannins, pleasant.
