Craftsmanship & Aging
The excellence of this wine is achieved through a meticulous production process designed to preserve the purity of the fruit:
Fermentation: Following careful crushing and destemming, the grapes ferment in barriques at a controlled temperature of $27-28$ °C for approximately 16–17 days.
Oak Aging: The wine matures in oak barrels for at least 2 years, gaining structure, complexity, and spicy undertones.
Bottle Refinement: A further 4 months of aging in the bottle ensures the wine is perfectly balanced before release.
Food Pairing & Service
A noble wine that demands high-quality culinary companions:
Perfect Match: Ideal with grilled red meats, game, and rich roasts.
Cheeses: Exceptional when paired with mature, aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano.
Serving Temperature: Best enjoyed between 18°C and 20°C. For the best experience, we recommend uncorking the bottle at least an hour before serving to allow the aromas to fully bloom.
