Tasting notes

Vivacious ruby red colour tending to garnet with ageing. Intense and characteristic bouquet, fruity with a violet fragrance and a slight hint of cherries. Dry, balanced and sapid, lightly tannic which turns into velvety softness.

Vinification

The mature grapes are harvested, de-stemmed and pressed. The entire process of vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks: after the alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature, the wine undergoes the malolactic fermentation, a process that lowers total acidity and makes wine seem rounder and fuller in flavour.

Ageing

In stainless steel tanks and a period of time in the bottle.

Food pairing

Delicious partner to spicy pasta dishes. Ideal with roasts, steaks and grilled veal.
