About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the individual Zuc vineyard. The wine is produced only in the best years.

Vinification

Harvest begins during the final ten days of September. Vinification and maceration take place in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine is aged in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

When young, wines in the Zuc di Volpe range are red to dark red. With age, they develop richer ruby and deep burgundy tones, while their aromas and flavours also evolve.

Label / history
