Its good ageing qualities enables musts with a high sugar content and medium acidity to be obtained, producing wines that have little structure and are aromatic, full-bodied, oily and unctuous.
It is mostly used in blends alongside other varieties that have a higher polyphenolic content to achieve greater aromatic complexity. It contributes aromas, particularly red berries, balancing the taste and strengthening unctuousness, volume and oiliness.
This variety's low polyphenolic content makes it unsuitable for ageing (Crianza). |
