The harvest of this grape takes place manually, starting from the first week of October. After harvesting, the winemaking process involves a maceration and fermentation phase that lasts for approximately three weeks, using steel vats. The following period, dedicated to refinement, lasts for 16 months. During this period, the wine matures both in 25 hl oak barrels and in barriques and tonneaux, both new and second use. The final phase of refinement takes place in 25 hl oak barrels, followed by a further year in the bottle before being marketed.
The color of the wine is a deep ruby red, while its taste is characterized by being rich, intense, structured and persistent. The perfume offers Mediterranean and mineral suggestions, enriched by intense notes of sweet violet, raspberries, strawberries, cassis and cocoa.
