The grapes

Winemaking
Red wine made by removing stalks and crushing the grapes. The must obtained, with skins and pips, is put to ferment in tanks at a controlled temperature for about 8/10 days. Finally it is drained, repeatedly decanted, then filtered and kept in tanks until it
is ready to be used.

Bottling
After refermentation in the autoclave, the wine is microfiltered and bottled immediately.

Organoleptic characteristics
In the glass it is sparkling, light ruby-red in colour, bright. To the nose it presents an intense perfume of fruit and headiness. On the palate it has a strong body, slightly acidic with reminders of forest fruits.

Accompaniments
It can accompany ravioli, grilled meat, hunter’s chicken, semi-mature cheeses.
