About this wine

Vinification

After pressing and maceration, the fruit underwent alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rested briefly in French oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Fresh, expressive and easy-drinking.

Label / history

The relatively young “12 e Mezzo” range was developed following research and tastings as an alternative to classic Italian styles. Its name means “twelve and a half” in Italian and refers directly to the wines’ alcohol content.
