Tasting note

Deep rustic red in colour with an aromatic, spicy nose of red fruits and damsons. Medium bodied and soft, with balancing structure to the blackberry and morello cherry flavours, finishing rounded and supple with a hint of liquorice.

Viticulture

The vineyards are situated around Piemonte, on mid to high altitude sites with good exposure and a high content of clayey and calcareous marl soils.

Vinification

Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks in contact with the grape skins between 28 and 30 degrees C, after 7-8 days malo-lactic fermentation is begun. After all the fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred into large used barrels for 9 months ageing, after which it is bottled.

Food Match

Excellent with pasta, particularly with a cheese based sauce, or meaty pizzas and pan fried or barbecued red meat.
