With this wine, the winemaker wants to showcase the beauty of his region and the ability to produce excellent wines.

This proved a success, as the blend is a true craft. But before we get to that point, we first need to tell you a bit about the vineyard. The old, thick vines are planted in Lodi, where the grapes receive plenty of sunshine, allowing them to develop a high sugar content. They also receive cool winds, allowing for a slow and steady harvest. Once the grapes have reached full ripeness, they are harvested separately and transported in small crates to the 1924 winery. Once all the grapes have been harvested, the winemaker creates the ultimate blend, and the Double Black Red Wine Blend is complete.

These soils range from loam to sandy, with a special mention for the terraces featuring the characteristic \"galets roulés\" – large, rounded pebbles that retain heat at night. These terraces are composed of alluvial soils, which originate from river deposits and the erosion of rock over time. The nearby sea has a cooling effect on temperatures, creating a favorable climate for the grape varieties grown.\n\n\n \nAt optimal ripeness, the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are selectively harvested and undergo controlled fermentation in the winery. During this process, the grapes remain in the fermentation tank for approximately 23 days. This extended contact time between the grape skins and juice can contribute to a deeper extraction of color, flavor, and tannins. For the Merlot grapes, \"pigeage\" is used, which refers to the manual immersion and crushing of the grape skins in the fermenting juice.
