THE WINEMAKING

After manual harvesting, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. The bunches are de-stemmed and softly pressed. The must undergo a lowering of the temperature in an inert environment. The fermentation lasts 9-10 days. The wine ages in stainless steel and oak barrels of different sizes. After bottling, it rests for at least a month in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Intense ruby red. The aroma is broad and elegant with light herbaceous hints that blend well with the aromas of red fruit.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent with red meat and aged cheeses but also with roasts.
