It is the manual selection of the best grapes and the oldest vines. Maceration without stalks is performed at a controlled temperature of 28°C for 10-12 days. Malolactic fermentation occurs in steel vats. A maturation of at least 15 months follows, managed partly in small oak barrels, partly in tonneaux. The wine is blended in stainless steel vats. Very wide filtration is applied at the bottling stage, which is followed by ageing in glass for at least 12 months.

Laced with notes of cherry and raspberry, this red is both intense and elegant, astringent in a pleasant, palate-cleansing way. Balanced, and an ideal match for salumi or pasta with a ragù. Fine length. Drink now through 2020. 2,000 cases made.
