Via Diagonalis 2007
Grape Variety: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Rubin & 5% Mavrud
Alcohol: 14% Vol
Residual sugar: 3.6 g/l
Roads lead us in different directions, some cross and others split. Via diagonalis is the perfect cross point of merlo, cabernet sauvignon, rubin and mavrud. Their first meeting was at the right time – 2007 and at the right time – Castra Rubra and with the ideal proportions – 60/30/5/5.
We have captured the emotion of this meeting for you, to share it, walking down your road and crossing the ways of other people with their emotions.
This wine carries the signature of Michael Rolland.
Intense and dark red colour. Attractive and complex nose, with dominant spices, smoke and vanilla. The taste is balanced with a long, warm finish of roasted meat.

the via diagonalis 2007 is much better than the 2008. 2007 was much softer with southern tones where 2008 is a little more acid, sharper and loosing its identity from the previous vintage. 2008 is just ok but not as good compared with 2007.
