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

In the chalice, it’s a violet red that’s brightly intense. This wine gives off spicy aromas suggesting hints of leather, plum and ripe cherries. To the mouth, it is full-bodied with a flavorful tannin texture that is softened thanks to a light refining process in wood.

Abbinamenti

This wine matches well with hearty dishes like grilled Florentine steak, lamb chops with rosemary, roasted pork and semi-aged cheeses.
