About Vinification: After the harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. The must is left to soak in contact with the grape-skins at temperatures of between 28° and 33° C for five to six days. A partial malo-lactic fermentation is carried out and subsequently the wine is transferred to cement tanks and left to rest, after which it is bottled. |
|
About tasting: The color is a bright intense ruby red with a touch of purple. The bouquet reveals fresh fruity notes that call red-berried fruit to mind. On the palate the wine is smooth and harmonious, full-bodied yet not heavy to drink, with a velvety tannic taste. |
|
About foods: An excellent accompaniment for lasagne in the Bolognese style, gnocchi with hare sauce, beef stew with polenta, montasio or Asiago cheese. |
