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 filtra-tion.
Ageing of wine on lees: 18 months in steel tank (in which malolactic fermentation take place), then 18 months in large wooden barrel.Last 6 months in bottle. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
Organoleptic properties: intense ruby red colour, fruity, grassy and spicy aromas; tannic, quite soft, very persistent, quite tasty and fre-sh taste.
Food pairing: roasted meat or wild game meat main courses; se-mi-hard or hard cheeses, blue and washed-rind cheeses.
Serving temperature: 15-16 °C. Decant wine before drinking it.
