FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
Why is it aged in concrete eggs and not in traditional wooden barrels?
This porous material allows for natural micro-oxygenation similar to that of wood, helping to stabilize color and soften tannins, but without adding vanilla or toasted aromas, preserving the fruit in its purest state.
What is the recommended serving temperature?
It is advised to serve strictly between 15°C and 17°C.
