Vinification and Aging The grapes, harvested manually at the end of September, are vinified in steel tanks with maceration on the skins for approximately 15 days, at a temperature of 22-24°C. During the fermentation and extraction phase, frequent and short pumping over is carried out to obtain the best results in terms of color and tannin. Once fermentation is complete, it is placed in steel tanks where it remains for approximately 12/14 months. A short period of bottle refinement follows.

Tasting Intense ruby ​​red color, with insertions of dark purple. It manifests itself on the nose with a great impact of hints of spices and small wild, red and black fruits, in great balance with the light vanilla and tobacco notes, softened by a light note of oak wood. In the mouth, intense, persistent and articulated, it is lavished with warm and soft notes, rich in flavor which prelude a wine with a strongly mineral character.

Pairings Suitable for traditional cuisine, it pleasantly accompanies the consumption of spit-roasted and grilled red meats, game, mature cheeses and cured meats.
