COLOUR

AROMA 

Aromas of raspberries, brambles, eastern spices, coffee and liquorice.

GRAPE VARIETY 

100% Cabernet Franc. 

PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES 

VINIFICATION 

The grapes are carefully selected from the best plots in the vineyard. They are then vinified in open wooden containers using their own natural yeasts; manual punching down is carried out to get the best extraction of substances from the grapes and skin contact lasts about two weeks. 

MATURATION 

The wine is drawn off the lees and then immediately transferred to French oak barriques, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. During maturation it is periodically racked to make it clearer and prepare it for bottling, which is done without any kind of filtration or clarification process so as to keep all ts organolectic properties intact. 

AGEING 

At least 6 months in bottle. 

TASTING NOTES 

Deep and intense ruby red colour with purplish highlights. Aromatic elegance in balsamic overtones and hints of mint, fruits of the forest and a slight smoke finish. Full-bodied and soft, well- balanced thanks to the fine tannins. The finish is long, meaty and chewy. It goes well with traditional Italian dishes, red meat and game.
