In the winery
Winemaking: after destemming and soft crushing grapes, must fer-ments spontaneously thanks to a pied de cuve of native yeasts, the only ones which increase the expression of our Terroir. After 20-30 days of maceration with the skins, at the end of alcoholic fermen-tation, wine is soft pressed in order to separate it from grape skins. Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added.No filtration.
Ageing of wine on lees: 6 months in steel tanks, 2-3 months in large wooden barrels and at least 3 months in bottle. Malolactic fermen-tation takes place during aging. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
Organoleptic properties: ruby red colour; fruity nose (black cherry and plum), with final cloves aroma. Medium body, smooth and ba-lanced, quite tannic, fine and elegant. An authentic Negroamaro!
Food pairing: ideal for pasta with ragù, or soft and fresh cheeses, vegetables and beans soups.
Serving temperature: 15 °C. Decant wine before drinking it.
