winemaking: At the end of a slow controlled temperature maceration, with regular cycles of punching-down and pumping-over, the wine is put in stainless steel tanks so that malo-lactic fermentation takes place by spring. Once completed the fermentation processes, the wine ages in Slavonian oak barrels for about 20 months. The following bottle ageing is fundamental in dark, cool cellars for at least nine months before commercial release

Ruby-colour. Delicate aroma, predominantly fruity, spicy and with pot-pourri hints. In the mouth it tastes particularly harmonious, velvet-smooth and lingering. This wine matches very well with red meat, game and cheese. Recommended serving temperature: 16-18°C
