About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Cabernet Franc grows in the producer’s vineyards in the municipality of Narni, southern Umbria, at 160 m above sea level. The soils are clay.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in mid-September at optimal ripeness. Traditional red-wine methods are used under the supervision of Riccardo Cotarella, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in oak barriques, followed by 12 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Elegant.

Serving and pairing

Pair with fine-dining dishes, game, stews, filet mignon, steak with tartar sauce, roast beef, pasta, risotto or medium-aged cheeses.
