Tasting note

The nose is packed with enticing fresh red fruit characters of raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate. Hints of blackberry and Kalamata olive come through over time, erupting in a long and lingering palate. A fine line of acid, reminiscent of tangy rhubarb, is supported by lively tannins.

Vinification

Small batches of grapes are gently crushed and transferred to stainless steel basket presses. Fermentation is long and moderately cool to retain fresh fruit characters, and was conducted in stainless steel tanks. Only free-run juice was used for the final wine with no malolactic fermentation.

Food Match

Fantastic chilled as an aperitif with antipasti or with the main event of fleshy white fish.
