The grapes are de-stemmed and left to macerate with the skins and their natural yeasts for a long time.

During this period, fermentation is assisted by regular remontage, delestage and air mixing.

Once racked, the wine ages for several months before being bottled.

Warm and fruit-driven with lots of cherry and red berries. Its color is a deep ruby red. On the nose it displays morello cherry and little wild berries followed by pronounced spice. In the mouth it is sure-footed, well-orchestrated and pervasive. It offers redcurrant, blueberry and liquorice with pronounced balsamic notes.

Excellent long finish.

It beautifully complements charcoal-grilled red meats, and is particularly intriguing paired with hard cheeses (Montasio Stravecchio, Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Sardo) and blue cheeses (Gorgonzola and Roquefort).

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 16°C
