Food Matching Note:
Excellent with pasta, particularly with a cheese based sauce, or meaty pizzas and pan fried or barbecued red meat.
Tasting Note:
This is a ruby-red wine with purple highlights. The nose is packed with black fruit, especially blackberries and plums, with slight spicy overtones hinting at black pepper and cinnamon. Sweet, soft tannins come together in a closely-woven texture that merges with the fruit, while a crisp freshness provides a long, tasty finish.
Vinification Note:
The vineyards are situated around Piemonte, on mid to high altitude sites with good exposure and a high content of clayey and calcareous marl soils. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks in contact with the grape skins between 28 and 30 degrees C, after 7-8 days malo-lactic fermentation is begun. After all the fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred into large used barrels for 9 months ageing, after which it is bottled.
