Vinification
The harvest takes place at the end of September
with picking by hand and selection of the best and
most sun-exposed grape bunches. The grapes are then
dried in crates for about 4 months, strictly according to the
traditional technique. This process results in a reduction in
weight of about 40% due to the loss of water inside the grapes,
thus increasing the aromatic and sugar concentration. In mid-January,
the dried grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation begins at
a temperature of 5-6°C and reaches 18-20°C in the final stage.
Maceration for about 35 days with daily delestage and pumping over.
60 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux, 42 months in old wood.
6 months of bottle-aging.
Gastronomy
The evolution of this wine makes it exceptional
with important traditional Italian dishes, from braised
meats to roast game. Also try it on its own, its complexity
makes it perfect as a meditation wine.
Sensory characteristics
A fascinating and vibrant garnet red. On the nose,
it offers an explosive note of morello cherry preserve
accompanied by a refreshing note of rhubarb, giving
way to an intriguing herby finish. Great character and depth,
where the alcohol content is uniquely balanced due to its
lively acidity and elegant tannins.
