AREA: Abruzzo (Central Italy).
GRAPES: 92% Montepulciano and 8% Sangiovese.
VINIFICATION:

The stems are separated from the grapes, which are softly pressed in cylinders under pressure gently breaking their skins and releasing the juice. The juice is left to macerate on the skins for about a week in rotating temperature controlled stainless steel vinifiers at about 28-30° C. The wine is then placed to age in large Slavonian oak casks.

COLOUR:
Brilliant, attractive and warm ruby-red colour.
BOUQUET:
Ample and remarkably complex, with vinous and characteristic tones.
FLAVOUR:
Dry on the palate and gracious, with delicate and soft veining, and a fine and harmonious balance.
SERVING TEMPERATURE:
Best if served at 18-20°C (64-68° F).
FOOD COMBINATION:
The wine can be consumed throughout a meal and makes a particularly fine accompaniment for all red meat and game dishes and savory preparations of the rural tradition.

AREA: Delle Venezie (North Eastern Italy).

VINIFICATION: The grapes, harvested by hand, are subjected to a
delicate crush and soft pressing with the use of presses
operating under vacuum. Fermentation occurs at a

characteristics of the wine. Injection of selected yeasts
guarantees maximum quality of the wine’s aromas
and flavours.

reflections.

the original grape. Its light and elegant structure
makes this an unusually refined and aristocratic wine.

meats, especially when served cold or steamed.
