About the Wine
Primarily grape varieties that embody this wine include Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, and Syrah. 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 24°-26°. Short and frequent pumping over are carried out. Maceration with the skins lasts about 7 days. After racking, malolactic fermentation and maturation in concrete tanks follow for 6 months.
Tasting Notes
Clear but deep ruby red; savory, meaty aromas combine with rich dried fruit and spice characters. The palate has ripe black plum and bramble notes, along with bright red cherry fruit. Supple, structured tannins and balancing acidity give a full finish. The Syrah gives it a depth, the Sangiovese the smoothness.
Pairing Recommendation
Pair this wine with pasta, meat sauces, roasted lamb, white meat in general and cheeses.
