The grapes, hand-harvested and placed in crates, are quickly transported to the nearby winery, where they undergo careful hand selection and destemming. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel tanks and cocciopesto amphorae for about 30 days.
After the initial racking and the start of malolactic fermentation, the wine continues its maturation for 5 years: 12 months in cocciopesto amphorae and 36 months in large 30 hl oak barrels. It is then refined in bottle for an additional 12 months before release.

The wine presents a deep ruby red color with violet hues. On the nose, it reveals aromas of sour cherry, fresh grassy notes reminiscent of walking on a meadow, complemented by spicy hints of black pepper, delicate nuances of vanilla, and dried tobacco leaves. On the palate, it is powerful yet balanced, with a dense tannic structure and a sweet finish. The tannins are mature and non-astringent, contributing to the wine’s long persistence and deep flavor. It has a vinous character and offers a long, lingering taste, with significant aging potential.

Perfectly paired with red meats, game, roasts, and aged cheeses. For optimal enjoyment, serve at a temperature of 18-20°C and decant the wine before tasting to enhance its aromas and complexity.
