Product

In mid-August, the grapes undergo “Il Giro del Picciolo,â€?a technique where the stalks are twisted to reduce nourishment, causing a 25-30% loss of liquid over 12 days. This drying process on the vine enhances flavour concentration. After de-stemming, the grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation occurs at 22-25°C for 8-10 days, with pumping over and délestage. Malolactic fermentation is induced, and 25% of the wine is aged for 12 months in French and American barriques. The wine shows rich aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with smooth tannins and a long, warming finish.
