In a few words: A new way of interpreting the Sagrantino grape, cultivated and vinified in such a way as to obtain a young and enjoyable, fresher and very drinkable wine.

Site: Vineyards are planted on hilly slopes with an average altitude of 350 meters above sea level. The terrain is clayey and rich in limestone deposits, dating from different geological periods: part of this very deep, other parts very rich in fossils, both giving the wine intense and varied tones. Surrounded by woodlands, the hilly area is an ideal microclimate for vineyards and olive groves.

Grapes: 100% Sagrantino (hand-picked in the last week of September)

Fermentation and Aging: Fermentation in contact with the skins for 15-20 days at a temperature of 25°C; spontaneous clarification without filtration. Aged in stainless steel vats for 18 months; assembled and clarified in cement vats for 3 months; bottle aged for at least 6 months.

Notes: Dense ruby red colour. A rich and intense nose, featuring fruits with marked notes of citrus and wild berries. Subtle scents of aromatic herbs. Elegant and fresh on the palate. Very persistent and fruity finish. This is a wine that can be enjoyed with all courses of a meal. It goes well with pork cold cuts and cheese, with flavoursome first courses, legume soups and main courses of poultry and red meat. Ideal accompaniment to semi-matured cheeses.
