This is the spearhead of our production of red wines. Celibe is produced from the R7 clone of the Teramane hills, starting from a careful selection of the bunches of grapes from a vine which is over 50 years of age. Unlike the other red wines, we choose to produce it only during the best years when climatic conditions are just right. Aging foreseen in oak barrels for a period of around 36 months before the wine is finally bottled.
