About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at 100 m a.s.l. on loose soil. Vines are trained to spurred cordon at a density of 6,000 plants per hectare, and the yield is 60 q/ha.

Grapes

Frappato.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the first week of October. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation is completed.

Ageing

The wine matures for 10 months in barriques, divided equally between new and second-use barrels, followed by eight months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Ruby red in colour, with a fresh bouquet of red berries and sweet spices. The palate is rounded, balanced and persistent, with lively acidity. Its overall character combines power with elegance and aromatic definition.

Serving and pairing

Ideal with fresh cheeses, cold cuts and richly flavoured fish dishes.

Label / history
