About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and selected with care. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place in 5,000-litre solid-wood vats at a controlled 26–28 °C, lasting at least 22–25 days.

Ageing

After fermentation the wine ages for 24 months in 500-litre French wooden barrels, which build structure and flavour and soften the tannins. After bottling it matures for at least 12 months.

Tasting profile

Bright and fresh, with a harmonious balance and an elegant structure. The colour is deep and rich. The palate is fresh and lively, with a savoury finish marked by citrus notes. Sweet licorice gives it a distinctive character.

Serving and pairing

Recommended with Italian dishes.
