Vinificazione

The grapes are de-stemmed and subject to soft pressing. Next, they undergo a 6-day maceration process at a temperature of approximately 28° C. - 65° F.; the must is removed (drained) in order to increase its concentration. The drained marcs are softly pressed and the wine obtained is successively subject to micro-oxygenization. It is then refined in steel tanks for 3 months, before refining for three more months in oak barrels.

Il Vino

To the sight, this wine appears an intense red hue with violet shades. In the glass, it gives off the distinct aromas of raspberry, spices and leather. Fruity for the palate, it presents itself as pleasant and versatile.

Abbinamenti
