Grape varietals: 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Soil: hills. terrain with ample skeleton - rock of the Montagnola
Vinification and aging: fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats where maceration lasts for 18-21 days at a controlled temperature of 28/30° C. Shortly after malolactic fermentation the wine is transferred into oak barriques (50% new) where it is aged for approximately 18 months. Once bottled, the wine remains stored on the estate for further refinement.
Tasting notes: intense ruby red colour. An ample and complex bouquet. More evident are the accents of mature red fruit, cinnamon, cassis, and toasted hazelnut; hint of incense. In the mouth an expression of volume, sweetness and softness, all at the same time. An important structure of excellent tannins. It is a wonderful expression of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Serving suggestions: red meat (both roast or salted), game and mature cheeses.
Serving temperature: 18° C - open 1 hour ahead of time. Store at a constant temperature of 17° C.
