Winemaking: the harvesting is done in two times, one week between them. For 4-5 days the maceration is developed in stainless steel casks, after the wine stays in oak casks of 600 litres for 8-9 months and then, it’s newly taken in stainless steel casks. It’s bottled in June and in September, one year after the harvesting, the wine is ready for the market.
Tasting notes: the colour is red with a ethereal fragrance, elegant; there are perceptions of violet, marasca and final notes of spice. It’s full, aristocratic and delicate.
Dishes: it’s a wine perfect with roasts, game (wild animals) and matured cheeses.
