Origin: Veneto

Colour: ruby red with violet hues.

Bouquet: intense, characteristic and pleasantly herbaceous with hints of cherry and blackberry.

Winemaking

Made from selected and healthy grapes, and through maceration in steel vats. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is decanted into steel tanks where it completes the malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine is triple filtered and then bottled.

Storage and ageing

In a humidity-controlled cellar at a temperature of 10-12 °C. Maximum ageing 2 years, best drunk when young.

Tasting note

This wine, balanced and suggestive of cherry jam, has a coffee and chocolate aftertaste; it has a good tannic content, acidity, and alcoholic degree. It is strong-bodied and persistent on the palate. Its tannins, firm, and fairly soft when it is young, are bound to improve with ageing.

Optimal serving temperature

16-18° C

Food pairing

Red meats, roasts, grilled meats, barbecued red meats, pasta with ragù or amatriciana sauce, and semi-aged cheeses.
