Aging: approximately 18 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 an intense and luminous red with shades that vary from ruby to garnet; the scent is very fine and elegant. The floral part is predominant, we can find the classic violet with a slightly macerated evolution and in the end a delicate and balsamic spice. In the mouth it is full and enveloping thanks to its silky tannins. A fine and elegant wine reminiscent of a young Barolo.
Food pairings: the wine has good tannins with an enveloping nuance of aromas that allow you to pair dishes with a balance between aroma and succulence such as: snail soup; Milanese risotto with ossobuco; gray rabbit from Carmagnola with pepper cream; BBQ lamb chops.
Serving temperature: 16°-18° C.
Storage: keep the bottles lying down in rooms at a constant temperature if possible. It is a ready-to-drink wine and can be kept in the cellar for 8-10 years.
