A wine with an intense personality, ideal with flavorsome meat dishes and game in general, or with cooked curd cheeses.

Winemaking
The freshly harvested grapes are destemmed, pressed and then left in small vats for 72 hours at a temperature of 10°C, for pre-fermentation steeping, in this way the characteristics of this vineyard are highlighted.
This is followed by fermentation with gentle steeping at a temperature of 16°C.
Drawing-off takes place when the product is fully dry, after an additional fermentation for 20-25 days on the skins.
Then the malolactic bacteria transform the malic acid and the wine will be ready to be transferred for the ageing process.
Ageing
The wine remains for 12 months in small barrels of French oak and after that, it completes its ageing process in traditional barrels for a further 12 months, until it reaches its peak of well-balanced savour.
It is then transferred to bottles, where it matures for at least 6 months before being sold.
Storage: Keep the bottle horizontal, in a cool and ventilated room, protected from direct light and vibrations.
