Product Description
The grapes that compose this magnificent wine come entirely from a vineyard called Castlet located in the municipality of Montemagno. Its vines are very old so they produce a few small clusters whose juices are very concentrated. We personally select all the clusters before fermentation in 25-hectoliter French oak barrels that lasts about 25 days.
After fermentation is finished, it is placed in smaller 500-liters oak barrels where malolactic fermentation and sharpening take place naturally. Here, the wine rests for about 18 months. It is bottled without any filtration and left for about 6 months before release. With big personality and power, it is ideal as a pairing for meat courses or cheese. lts body, structure and high acidity allow this wine to age 10 to 15 years.
