The ground is perfectly placed and with excellent exposure, black with lava sands and due to this extraordinarily rich in minerals with abundant structure of large fragments, surrounded by woods and more recent lava flows.

Tasting notes
This wine draws its tasting strength and extraordinary aromas of incense of medicinal herbs, hibiscus and wild fennel from the lava sands. The wine is luminous and lyrical, describing without filters the character and refinement of the great mountain red wines, though at latitudes near Africa. Tannins of compact density are drawn with elegance. The sweetness and generosity of wild fruit and currants mingles with aromas of incense and beeswax, a faint almost salty flavour invites a further sip.
