TASTING NOTES

Violet ruby ​​red color of good intensity and density. Spicy aroma of dried figs, marasca cherry, aromatic herbs. Good persistence on the palate, with sweet elegant tannins and a pleasant velvety balsamic tone. Balanced aftertaste with great enveloping and pleasantness.

DESCRIPTION

The grapes are carefully selected and placed in small plastic crates of about 5-6 kg. and subsequently placed in special drying rooms (fruit cellar) with the possibility of humidity control. Here they will remain for a period of approx. 3 months where there will be a 30% drop in the weight of the wet part but a great concentration of all the essential components of the berry. The vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature, where the new wine is born over the course of about 20-30 days of maceration, with punching down and delestage. After racking, the malolactic fermentation is facilitated and therefore the wines are transferred to wood of various capacities, essences and origins.
