| About Vinification： After the harvesting of the grape by hand, the berries are crushed and destemmed. The pomaces are left to mace-rate in contact with the musts at temperatures between 25°C and 28°C for a week in large steel vats. Frequent pumping over allows for optimal extraction of the colour and a good body. Malolactic fermentation is carried out, then the wine is placed in barrique barrels for 6 months, and after that in barrels of 30 hectolitres for a further 12 months. A bottle aging process of at least 4 months fol-lows. |
|
| About tasting： A deep, almost impenetrable, ruby red. Warm and embra-cing to the nose with intense aromas of blueberry and other red berries, mixed with aromas of toasted coffee and of leather. To the palate it is rounded and fullbodied, a great concentration of fruitiness bolstered by a tannic pro-file which yields an outstanding yet very pleasant wine. |
|
| About foods： It superbly pairs with the most typical dishes of Montferrat culture, especially those based upon meat. |
