Description

Manual harvest in the second ten days of October with selection in the vineyard. The destemmed grapes ferment at a controlled temperature of 26/28°C, in contact with the skins for 8/10 days. Racking takes place once alcoholic fermentation is complete. The malolactic fermentation and 8-month maturation are carried out entirely in steel. Bottling is scheduled for the end of summer, bottle refinement lasts approximately 6 months.

Tasting

Pale ruby red colour. Elegant and fruity nose, with light spicy hints. Delicate sip with fine acidity and notes of small red fruits.

Pairings

Grilled red meats, first courses with ragù, medium-aged cheeses.
