Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Ruby red with a slight purple tint, the typical transparent color of Nerello. Aromas of red fruits, Morello cherry, and black cherry. The taste is characterized by balanced tannins, deep richness, rich flavor, and long aftertaste.

Pairing

Production

The grapes are hand-picked in small wooden boxes and immediately transported to the winery where they are hand-sorted on a conveyor belt. They are then destemmed and, without being completely crushed, sent to concrete tanks for about 10-12 days of maceration at a temperature of 22-25°C. After fermentation and a few more days of maceration, the wine is separated from the skins and pressed in a traditional vertical press.

Aging takes place in large wooden barrels for 6 months, followed by 3 months in the bottle.
