About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the estate’s vineyards in Emilia.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo traditional red-wine vinification. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. No sugar is added; the wine’s sweetness comes from the grapes’ natural fruit sugar.

Ageing

The wine rests for several months in the same stainless-steel tanks used for fermentation.

Serving and pairing

Pair with grilled meat, Mediterranean dishes, mature cheeses, salami, spicy food, pasta, fruit, chocolate, desserts and freshly baked pastries.
