About the Wine
The de-stemmed and gently crushed berries are transferred to steel tanks at a controlled temperature and undergo a pre-fermentative cryomaceration for 24 hours. Subsequently, we take care of the alcoholic fermentation, maintaining a temperature of 27°-28°. Short and frequent pumping over are carried out. Maceration with the skins lasts about 20-24 days. After racking, malolactic fermentation and maturation in concrete tanks follow. 24 months in oak barrels and barriques (made in France, capacity 225 to 2.000 liters). Bottle aging: minimum 9 months.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red in color that displays richness backed by solid tannin. Full-bodied with plenty of spice. With distinctive notes of wild berries, and hints of vanilla and spice notes, these aromas are amplified in intensity, consistency, and persistence. This wine has aging potential.
Pairing Recommendation
An austere wine that goes well with rich fare such as ossobuco, beef stew, filet mignon, and Florentine steak.
