Vinification Techniques: At the time of harvesting, a very careful selection is made of the grapes from the vineyards of Abbadia di Montepulciano, Acquaviva, Gracciano and Valiano.
The bunches are then de-stemmed and crushed and subjected to maceration for a period of 12-15 days during which the wines have completed the alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature not exceeding 28 ° C.
The wines completed the malolactic fermentation by the end of the year, first in steel and then in French oak barrels.
Aging Techniques: The wine has been aged for about 25 months in French oak barrels of 25 Hl capacity.
Recommended pairings: Traditional first courses, game, red meats, mature cheeses and cured meats. Serve at a temperature of about 18 ° C.
