Tasting Notes:

Intense ruby-red color, with a complex bouquet, reminiscent of cherries, raspberries and redcurrants. The oak ageing adds a pleasant roasted and spicy aroma. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and well-balanced and with a long finish.

Aging:

The wine is racked, softly pressed and one part of the wine is aged in barriques for about 10-12 months.

Winemaking:

Once in the cellar the grapes are de-stemmed. The fermentation takes place at 79-82 F (26-28°C) . The contact with the skins lasts about 8-10 days and is followed by racking and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then kept in stainless-steel until January when it is left in contact with the Amarone skins for about 5-7 days.

Food Pairing:

Perfect with roast red meats and mature cheese.
