IL VINO

A deep golden-yellow color tending towards amber, with broad and intense aromas featuring fruity notes of jam, blackberries, plums, dried and caramelized fruits, along with spicy hints of cinnamon, cardamom, and honey. On the palate, it reveals smoothness and roundness with long persistence, extremely balanced, savory, and full-bodied.

VINIFICATION

The finest hand-harvested grapes are left to dry in a specially designed greenhouse located within the vineyard, in the presence of lavender and rosemary plants. Fermentation takes place in small 40- to 60-liter oak barrels, where the wine remains for 5 years.
