The nose is dominated by bright red fruits, particularly strawberry, raspberry and gooseberry, with a zippy acidity and fresh notes of cranberry and rhubarb adding further lift and energy. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete and inox tanks, with some whole-bunch inclusion, gives the wine a natural freshness and purity, while soft, rustic tannins and a lively acidity keep things buoyant and alive.
