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

an intense, brilliant shade of ruby red, this wine gives off spicy aromas and hints of leather, plums and mature cherries. The palate welcomes its soft fruity feel and its pleasant aromatic flavor.

Abbinamenti

pleasant with meats topped with sauces and rigatoni pasta with Neapolitan sauce or ricotta and spinach quiches.
