Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the Cascine Drago vineyard. The vines are around 20 years old and give consistent concentration and a clear expression of the variety.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand, then quickly destemmed and pressed. Maceration on the skins is short, 5–7 days at 22–24 °C, to preserve the fruit and the soft texture.
Ageing
Malolactic fermentation and ageing take place in stainless-steel tanks. Further ageing in bottle follows, giving a rounded, balanced wine without too much weight.
Tasting profile
Bright and fruity. Cherry and plum notes are joined by subtle hints of almond and spice. Soft tannins keep the palate juicy and balanced.
Serving and pairing
Suited to traditional Italian dishes, though the text names none.
