Grapes
Selected Montepulciano grapes.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand when slightly overripe. At the winery they are gently crushed and destemmed, then macerated on the skins for 20–25 days. Part of the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at 24–26 °C; the rest ferments in cement vats at the natural ambient temperature.
Ageing
Part of the wine is aged in French barriques for 12 months, where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. After bottling it rests a further 3 months before release.
Tasting profile
A rich red wine.
