Harvest: manual in baskets with selection of bunches around mid-October.
Vinification: selection of the grapes on a vibrating table, soft pressing, fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature with frequent pumping over and délestages. Maceration for approximately 20 days.
Aging: at least 40 months in traditional oak barrels and subsequently in the bottle in the underground cellar with controlled temperatures until released for sale.
Organoleptic characteristics: the color is a bright red with shades from ruby to garnet. The scent is very complex with floral notes in particular violet, sweet spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavor is strong with good freshness and great structure thanks to a vigorous but elegant tannin. The finish is persistent and delicately balsamic.
Food pairings: the wine has good tannicity but also delicacy, making it pleasant to pair with dishes with good succulence such as: caciucco; soft crab with Singapore sauce; pigeon, curry and fermented apricots; duck in orange sauce; leg of lamb with capunet.
