Il Sogno, 2018

The grapes are carefully selected in the vineyard a week before harvest, choosing only the healthiest and ripest. The bunches are laid out on racks and left to dry in special rooms with the perfect temperature and humidity for a slow and natural dehydration, for approximately three months. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After this phase, the wine ages for 36 months in 20-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels and for 6-8 months in smaller oak barrels. It then ages extensively in the bottle before release.

Rich, bright red color; nose of cherry, blackberry and plum jam, black cherry syrup, and balsamic nuances; rounded out with hints of mint and anise, spiced with cocoa and cinnamon, candied citrus peel, mineral nuances, and raisins. Soft and structured on the palate, supported by tension and freshness, savory with enveloping tannins. The finish is very long and complex.

Game, stewed red meats, braised meats, stews, mature cheeses.
