About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are left on the vine for about 25 days after ripening, so that they dry gently and become more concentrated.

Vinification

The wine follows the Appassimento method, which uses slightly dried grapes for a more concentrated flavour. Vinification is traditional, at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

No oak ageing. The wine is bottled young to preserve the natural sweetness of ripe fruit and its soft tannins.

Tasting profile

Deep and juicy, with warm, ripe fruit. The drying of the grapes gives a fuller, rounder taste. Tannins are soft and the character is warm and velvety.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with grilled meat, pasta with tomato sauce, roast duck, aged cheeses, and dishes seasoned with herbs and spices. Its aroma and structure suit rich sauces, spicy notes and hearty dishes.
