Tasting
The wine is deep in color and presents aromas of green pepper, stewed fruits, supported by a lovely floral nuance.
On the palate, the fruit aromas are round and smooth, with fine yet present tannins.
Pleasant and complex, this wine can be enjoyed now or over the coming years

16-18º
Accords food and wine
Smoothness and structure: it has character and pairs well with rich and flavorful cuisine. Ideal with grilled red meats, it is also delightful with aged cheeses (Comté from Jura, Saint-Nectaire, Pyrénées sheep’s milk cheese). Dolce Vita is also irresistible with Italian specialties (parmigiana, Neapolitan pizza, pasta with ragù della nonna sauce)

The winemaker’s corner
Paleolithic calcareous marsh soils dating back to the Tertiary period. River deposits from the Pliocene with siliceous pebbles from the Montagne Noire.
Parcel by parcel work, grape variety by grape variety, aiming for optimal ripeness in Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
First, the two grape varieties are harvested separately according to their ripeness and tasting results. They are then destemmed and put into fermentation. A gentle and qualitative extraction takes place, notably through daily pumpovers at controlled temperature. Finally, daily tasting of the different tanks helps define the end of the post-fermentation maceration.
The blending of the Dolce Vita cuvée takes place in December, once all fermentations are complete.
Aging potential: 2 – 10 years.
