PRODUCTION Production Area: Puglia, 250/300 m a.s.l. Appassimento: manual harvesting and arrangement of the bunches in single layers in perforated crates with a maximum weight of 5 kg. The crates are placed in a fruit drying room at controlled temperature and humidity for 5 weeks; in this environment, the activity of enzymes naturally present on the grapes allows the formation of particular aromatic compounds as well as a slight drying due to dehydration. Destemming of the grapes, crushing and cooling of the must for 24 hours, initiation of fermentation with selected yeasts. Racking and pressing of the pomace for 8/10 days after the end of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Duration of maceration: 15 days. Aging: 30 days in steel tanks (for racking practices), aging for 12 months in French barriques of 225l of medium toasting, bottle aging for 4 months. TASTING NOTES Color: clear with an intense red color with violet reflections. Aroma/taste: intense with hints of ripe plum, cherry, and black currant with a finely spiced note and hints of cocoa and vanilla. Full, soft and harmonious taste, gently fruity in a soft and persistent structure. Pairing: grilled red meats, first courses with ragù and lightly aged cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 18/20°C. Decant before serving.
