The fermentation lasts about 3 weeks and takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 27°C. The skins remain in contact with the wine during post-fermentation maceration, using the ancient submerged cap method, for an additional 4 weeks. After pressing, the wine remains in stainless steel for malolactic fermentation and is then transferred to barrel. It undergoes aging for approximately 24 months in 25 hl oak barrels, followed by 12 months in concrete tanks.
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color with garnet hues. The nose reveals notes of dried violets and roses, along with small red fruits, finishing with hints of pepper and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, characterized by a pleasant freshness and a smooth yet lively tannin structure.
An excellent wine for Sunday lunches, it pairs perfectly with braised red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C.
