Description

The grapes, harvested in September, are left to dry for approximately three months in special rooms known as “fruttai,” where the grapes lose 35-40% of their weight, concentrating their sugars and juice. After pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins, the wine is aged in 28-hl and 54-hl oak barrels. This is followed by extensive bottle aging.

Tasting

Deep ruby red color tending towards garnet; intense and complex nose of ripe cherry and red fruits; ample and full-bodied sip, rich and soft, with a long fruity finish.

Pairings

Stewed red meats, braised meats, game, mature cheeses.
