What You Should Know About This Wine
Helpful insights on serving, pairing, and what to expect from the bottle in your glass.
This wine undergoes an extended maceration on the lees with vigorous pumping over and punching down early on, followed by a prolonged resting period. It spends a minimum of three years aging, including at least one year in oak barrels, which lends structure and depth to its flavour profile.
Its savoury black cherry and spice notes pair beautifully with rich roasted meats, game such as venison or wild boar, and mature cheeses like aged Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano. These foods balance the wine’s tannic grip and highlight its earthy complexity.
This wine is best served slightly below room temperature, ideally between 18 and 20°C. This allows the aromas to flourish and the tannins to soften, delivering a well-rounded tasting experience.
