PRODUCTION Production area: Valle d'Itria Vinification: destemming of the grapes with immediate temperature reduction to 10°C, maceration beyond the alcoholic fermentation for 10-15 days, racking and gentle pressing. Aging: after a short resting period, it is separated from the coarse lees, the malolactic fermentation begins, and once completed, the wine is transferred into medium and light toasted French oak barrels, where it remains for 24 months. Once it reaches its peak organoleptic expressions, it is stabilized and bottled. Bottle aging for 6 months. TASTING NOTES Color: purplish red tending towards garnet Aroma/taste: particularly rich wine, with a robust and substantial structure, full and harmonious. Varietal aromas, complex, intense, and persistent. A wine of distinction. Pairing: grilled red meats, game, aged cheeses, a meditation wine for great evenings. Serve at cellar temperature.
