VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Nero d’Avola and Merlot grapes, vinified seperately, are fermented in stainless steel for two weeks at 26-30°C. After being blended, the wine ages for 12 months in 60 hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a further period of ageing in the bottle.
TASTING NOTES
colour: intense ruby red with garnet shades.
bouquet: intense and ample bouquet, which opens with pleasant hints of small berries, followed by notes of Mediterranean maquis and spices.
flavour: with a considerable structure, it is pleasantly fresh with a soft and lingering finish that recalls the fruit.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Excellent with flavoursome dishes, with grilled white and red meats, ideal with roast lamb and medium-matured cheeses.
