VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Vinification takes place after delicate crushing of the grapes. The must macerates on the skins for 1-2 weeks in order to favour the extraction of colour and other polyphenolic substances. When the malolactic fermentation is also complete, the wine matures for 6 months in Slavonian oak barrels and a further 4 months in bottle before release.
COLOUR
Ruby-red with garnet refl ections.
BOUQUET
Fine, with scents of cherries, wild berry fruits, violets and spicy hints.
FLAVOUR
Dry and fresh, with good body and agreeable tannins.
SERVING TEMPERATURE
Serve at 18° - 20° C. (64° - 68° F.).
FOOD MATCHES
When young it is excellent with richly-flavoured dishes, especially the traditional specialties of Tuscan cuisine. After 3 or 4 years we recommend it with game, stewed meats, and strong, mature cheeses.
