Tasting Notes
Deep red tending to garnet. Its aroma is intense, complex, redolent of wild berries, and with a spicy touch. Excellently structured, it fascinates with its round and silky taste with creamy tannins and a delicious finish.
Cultivation
The grapes are picked at the moment of perfect ripeness, normally in late September. Vines are trained on Guyot with a yield of 13 tons per hectare and a density of 4,500 vines per hectare.
Vinification
Grapes are partially raisined. This drying method (“appassimento” in Italian) aims at obtaining a more structured, rounded, and fruity wine. The grapes slowly macerate at a controlled temperature.
Aging
Part of the blend ages in oak barrels. The final period in the bottle guarantees a further maturity and balance.
