Vineyards:
Grapes cultivated on espaliers with spurred cordon on a calcareous, clayey, and fertile soil.

Vinification:
The grapes are harvested during the first half of September. The maceration and the fermentation phases start at low temperatures and during those days the typical characteristics of this wine are well defined. The vinification process will be completed after about 15 days.
Maturation:
In vitrified concrete tanks for a few months, followed by a 12 – 18 months maturation in Slavonian oak barrels. Lastly, refining in the bottle.
Tasting Notes:
Natural dark ruby red colour with purplish nuances, an intense and persistent bouquet with notes of ripe fruits and spices, soft and elegant at the palate with a fruity finish. A full-bodied, well-structured wine.
Food Pairing:
It perfectly matches roasted red meat, game, well-aged cheeses, and very tasty dishes in general. Serve at about 18°C.
