When To Drink
Perfect wine to drink immediately, but can evolve well if left to rest in the cellar. We advise you to let the wine ‘breathe’ at least 15-30 minutes before serving
Tasting Notes
Ruby red color that turns towards garnet hues during aging. With a soft, savory, slightly warm and velvety flavor with a pleasant, typical bitter aftertaste. The aromas recall wild strawberries, roses and dried violets, with aging also notes of licorice and aromatic herbs appear.
Vinification and Refinement
Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 30°C in stainless steel tanks and conducted with selected yeasts. During the maceration lasting about 6-8 days, numerous pumping over and délestage are carried out, which favor the extraction of color and aromas. The refinement and malolactic fermentation take place in second passage barriques. The marketing takes place in the month of November following the harvest.
Vineyard
The rossese vineyards are trained according to the ancient sapling system.
