About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, which preserves the wine's clean fruit character and the grape's natural roundness. The wine is filtered before bottling.

Ageing

The wine is aged for at least 6 months, which softens its structure and highlights its velvety character.

Tasting profile

Characterful and semi-dry, with concentration, ripeness and generosity balanced by softness. The fruit is clean, the texture round and velvety.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with grilled meat, pasta with rich sauces and classic Italian dishes.
