Production notes

Organic certified starting with harvest 2016, it has an high content of dry extracts. Since 2003 this wine comes 100% from Nero di Troia grapes, fermented in rotating stainless steel tanks equipped with hot/cold water external pockets. The wine ages for 12 months in 35 hl. Slovenian oak; 12 months in steel vats or glassed (vetrified) tanks, and for further 6 months in the bottle stored in warehouse with control of temperature and humidity.

Tasting notes

Dark ruby red, with a wide bouquet of ripe red fruit, crushed raspberries and balsamic spices. It is a full bodied dry wine, rich and balanced, with soft tannins and a long finish of berries and traces of licorice.
