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 8 mon-ths of maceration with the skins, at the end of alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation, 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: 18 months in steel tank, then 24 months in large wooden barrel, and at least 8 months in bottle. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
Organoleptic properties: consistent ruby red colour, fruity, spicy and toasty aromas. The taste has a vigorous body, soft and quite tannic, balanced, persistent and raisiny.
Food pairing: red meat main courses, cold cuts, sausages and se-mi-hard cheeses.
Serving temperature: 16-18 °C. Decant wine before drinking it.
