ORIGIN
The vineyards are grown on medium-textured sandy soils, trained using spurred cordon training in Sorso (SS).

PROCESSING
The harvested grapes are cooled using cells. Subsequently, the best bunches are selected and soft destemming is carried out. This is followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration on the skins for 20 days in steel at a temperature of 24°C. It refines in new French oak barriques for at least 14 months and then in the bottle for at least 1 year before marketing.

CHARACTERISTICS
Color: Ruby red
Perfume: notes of Mediterranean scrub, tobacco, plum, and spices that blend in an engaging evolution.
Taste: strong tannic texture, marked flavor with a strong territorial imprint. Very long finish.

COMBINATIONS
Perfect as an elegant aperitif, accompanied by long-matured cheeses. Ideal at the table with land cuisine, especially with game and game.
