a ‘pan-alpine’ red - really fresh & exuberant - zaps of blood orange, blackberry, pepper, luxardo cherries, mezcal smoke, crushed dried violets - extended skin maceration after 7 days of sealed-top carbonic maceration & 7 days of traditional red wine fermentation with daily foot treading - loves a little tiny chill
