Vinification: each grape variety undergoes alcoholic fermentation separately in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 28°C for 15-20 days.
When non-DOC/DOCG wines are drawn off, they are transferred to other 80-100 hl wooden barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place.
The five different types of wine are subsequently blended in a steel tank and then the final wine is transferred to a French oak barrel, where it ages for nine months.
Colour: brilliant ruby red with dark purple highlights.
Bouquet: rich in red berry fruits, plum jam, cherries in liqueur, with subtle scents of vanilla, black pepper, and blackberry and blackcurrant jam.
Palate: velvety, full and very harmonious. This wine’s outstanding smoothness is due to rather contained acidity and a mature, unaggressive tannic structure.
Pairing: pasta, rice dishes, grilled red and white meats and mature cheeses. It is ideal with both Italian and international cuisine.
