Description

Grapes are hand-harvested in early October and destemmed in a 12-hl Georgian qvevri buried in the Solicchiata cellar. Alcoholic fermentation is conducted with indigenous yeasts without temperature control. Finally, the wine is left to macerate on the skins for four weeks, during which malolactic fermentation takes place. After pressing, the wine ages on the fine lees in chestnut barrels for two winters before bottling. The wine is neither clarified nor filtered.

Tasting

Crimson red color with purple highlights; intense nose of plum and ripe cherry, with floral and spicy notes of anise and licorice; rich and refined on the palate, with nice acidity, elegant tannins and a long mineral finish with spicy aftertaste.

Pairings

Meat-based first courses, grilled meats, medium-aged cheeses.
