THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual with selection of the grapes in the vineyard. For what concerns the winemaking, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in French oak truncated cone fermenters, while the malolactic fermentation takes place in 500 liter Tonneau also of French oak. The wine ages in French oak for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months depending on the vintage.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. The aroma is elegant with pleasant notes of ripe fruit which  in turns give way to  flower scents, ending with spicy hints. On the palate it is initially austere and then opens with velvety vinous tannins; an elegance and softness that increase over the years.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with red meat, game and hard cheeses. Must try with the shank.
