Torrette 2016 - La Source

Torrette - La Source

The Petit Rouge and Vien de Nus grapes used for the Torreta come from a vineyard area and precisely from the Saint-Pierre vineyard, planted in 1991 on a sandy soil. The grapes are scrupulously picked by hand, and after decaying they are left to ferment in steel tanks. The must-wine remains 8-10 days in contact with the skins. After ripening, the refining takes place on the fine lees partly in steel and wood part to promote maturation and increase the complexity of flavor and scent. The Turrette is ruby ​​red. Intense nose hints of red berry, purple and plum fruit, and spicy notes. In the mouth is structured and full bodied, enveloping, dry and pleasant with a slightly spiced finish.

Pairing

Great with homemade cold meats, ideal with first tasty dishes, to be tried with a roast veal with potatoes.
