Tasting note
Plush, easy-drinking red from central Italy, a fragrance of blueberries with a warm underlay of spice followed by a mouthful of damson jam and plum cake.
Viticulture
Grown in Molise, Central Italy - of which only 2% is graded as DOC - grapes are subject to excellent exposure, calcaerous soils and a maritime climate. Vines are 15 to 25 years old.
Vinification
Traditional vinification with 10-12 days of maceration at a controlled temperature of 25°-26°C. The wine is aged for 18 months in large oak barrels, and then for 18 months in stainless steel tanks.
Food Match
Enjoy with wood oven pizzas. Try it with a Capricciosa, or a Calzone for a twist on a classic.
