About Vinification:
Grapes are destemmed and soft-crushed, with minimal use of Sulphur dioxide. The juice ferments and macerates on the skins for a long period of time, during which the cap is punched down daily. The must is cold-clarified by allowing the lees to settle.Maturation 80% aged for 18 months in big Slavonian oak barrels and the remaining 20% in Frech barriques for at least 6 month.Bottle Ageing For at least six months before release onto the market.
About tasting:
Brilliant ruby red, with attractive depth and decent length. The aromas are alcohol and fruit-rich when the wine is young, later mellowing with bottle age into ripe plum fruit layered over a faintly grassy background note. Dry, soft and well-balanced on the palate, it reveals a pleasing bitterish twist in the finish. Good aromatic length.
About foods:
A classic food wine with rice and pasta in tomato or meat sauces, and filled pasta, as well as grilled meats, poultry, white meats and soft cheese.
