Tasting notes
Intense purple colour, tending to garnet with ageing. Full and persistent on the nose. Full bodied and harmonious on the palate, this wine has a perfect balance between soft tannins and acidity.
Vinification
In the vineyard, vine shoots are cut and left on the vine for about 15/20 days to allow the slow withering process and natural dehydration in order to obtain the so-called “appassimento”. Then the grapes are destemmed, pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature (26-28°c) for about 15 days. The appassimento gives the wine the typical notes of ripe fruit with a perfect balance between tannins and acidity
Ageing
In stainless steel tank at a constant low temperature before bottling.
Food pairing
Ideal with savoury pasta courses, roasts and mature cheeses.
