Rustical is the wine most typical of my grandparents and our region. It is what we have and will always drink. Meadow in full bloom, nutmeg, honey from forest bees – this wine is like spending a weekend at your grandparents' in the countryside. Elegant, deep, full-bodied yet with zesty stony acidity, finishing on delicate tannins, almonds and apricots. Rustic origins, aristocratic style!.
