Vino rosso

Grapes 100% ••••••••••••.

Grape Location Costigliole d’Asti e Isola d’Asti.

Grape Harvest It begins with a strict, manually made •••••••••••• grapes selection by choosing the best matured and concentrated bunches. After harvesting, grapes are collected in small, wooden cases and then stored for about a month in our withering rooms, where they start a slow and moderate drying process. We want to achieve aroma, complexity and structure without affecting drinkability nor digestibility: to do so, we do a daily sampling on the grapes to check the drying level and the loss in weight. Once the drying level is correct, we proceed with grapes crushing.

Vinification After crushing and destemming, the must is left fermenting in controlled temperature steel tanks. The wine is left aging for 24 months in small, new French oak barrels until the bottling, two years after the harvest.

Charateristics The wine is dry, but it keeps the enveloping notes of chocolate, blackberry jam, ripe cherry, and tobacco, typical of the drying process. It is a rich and smooth wine but the natural acidity of •••••••••••• grapes allows it to maintain great drinkability and freshness.

Alcohol content 15,5 % Vol.
