Le Riche Richesse is an immensely accessible and versatile red wine cuvée with fragrant aromas of sweet plums, fresh damsons and red cherries, and a balanced touch of fine oak on the nose. A taut, yet wonderfully juicy attack clothes the mouth with pleasant fullness, lush nuances of red berry fruit fade out in a deliciously round finish.

The wines were fermented separately by grape variety until the desired dryness in traditional open concrete tanks, with regular manual submersion of the marc cap. After completion of primary and secondary fermentation in tank, the wines were transferred to French oak barrels. After a year of aging in barrique, the wines were blended and then aged for an additional 8 months in 225L barrels and 4500L oak barrels. No fining took place.
