Tasting Notes.
Duris Selection has an intense ruby color with violet tones. Aromas of red black fruits, slight floral with balsamic. In the mouth, it is a wine with a good volume, lively acidity and round tannins, with a persistent finish.
Production
The grapes were harvested manually at the perfect point of maturation, from different plots and immediately processed in the cellar. After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were sent to stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation took place. During this phase, gentle macerations are carried out at a controlled temperature.
Maturation
After fermentation, 30% of the blend aged in French and American oak for 6 months and the remaining 70% aged in stainless steel vats. Before bottling, the wine was slightly stabilized and filtered.
