Vineyards located in the district of Controguerra. 250-300 m a.s.l.
Medium-textured with abundant gravel.
After destemming, the grapes are conveyed into small cement fermenting tanks which facilitate the delicate breakage and movement of the cap during fermentation. This system assures a greater and more homogeneous contact between must and skins, therefore increasing the extraction of polyphenols. In order to obtain the best results, maceration periods can even exceed 4 weeks. After the fermentation , the wine is placed in large barrels for a 12 month aging.
Intense, impenetrable ruby.
Pervasive and complex with nuances of morello cherry, kirsch and ripe blackberry as well as hints of rain-soa-ked earth, ground coffee, tobacco and licorice.
An intense, rounded mouthfeel highlights the good structure provided by the corpulent tannins which leads to a lingering juicy finish.
