During the harvest, the grapes are carefully selected, and after destemming, the berries are pressed, resulting in a must that ferments in stainless steel containers, where pump-overs are frequent. The aging process follows, with the wine resting for 12 months in barriques until bottling operations begin.
Tor di Lupo presents in the glass with a typically ruby color, featuring purple hues at the rim. The nose reveals strong notes of very ripe red fruit, enhanced by touches of spices and resins, leading to an olfactory finish with hints of bitter chocolate. On the palate, it is well-bodied and immediately announces a pleasant freshness, with a tannic sip that continues into a finish with excellent persistence.
An excellent bottle to pair with a meat-based pasta dish or with game.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C.
