The color is a deep ruby red with bright violet highlights. The nose is intense and remarkably complex, revealing dark fruits such as wild blackberries, mulberries, and plums, alongside spicy notes of cocoa powder, licorice, tobacco, and a distinctive balsamic touch. On the palate, a beautiful acidity is balanced by marked sapidity, while vibrant, well-defined tannins lead to a truly long and enjoyable finish.

Vinification and maturation
The grapes are hand-selected and harvested from the “Fonteanni,” “Gabbioni,” and “Romano” vineyards. In the cellar, they are destemmed and gently crushed before being transferred to stainless steel tanks, where fermentation takes place with native yeasts. Maceration is managed through daily short pump-overs and lasts approximately 10 to 12 days. After racking, the wines are blended and aged for about 18 months in a combination of 30 hL Tronçais oak casks and concrete tanks. Bottling is carried out during the summer months.
Tips for the service
At a temperature of around 16°C, in moderately large glasses.
Gastronomic pairings
