Cornalin

A dry red wine with delicate tannins, Cornalin offers aromas of plum and cherry with subtle spicy undertones. It is grown on soils formed by ancient glacial deposits. Harvested in early October, it ferments in stainless steel and undergoes warm post-fermentation maceration before aging in large oak vats.
