The result of manual picking of the best grapes from the
estate’s most suitable vineyards, it is only produced in
limited quantities in the great vintages. Our Roma Riserva is

VARIETALS
Montepulciano 55 %, Sangiovese 30%, Syrah 15%
SOIL
Calcareous-clayey
VINIFICATION
Separate fermentation for the individual varietals with long
maceration and gentle extractions. Malolactic fermentation
in cement tanks, followed by ageing in wood and blending
in the spring following the harvest.
REFINEMENT
Separate maturation by varietal in new 350 L French oak
tonneaux and in small cement tanks for 18 months, followed
by 6 months in bottle.
TASTING
It presents itself, immediately, as a wine of great thickness for
its intense violet color. The nose is seductive and opens with a
deep fruity character of blackberry and blueberry, followed by a
floral touch of violet and darker notes of humus and
undergrowth. The complexity is accentuated by an intriguing
final spice with notes of black pepper, cocoa and slightly
vanilla.
The palate re-proposes the density of the fruit already perceived
by the nose. The structure of the wine develops in a harmonious
way. The texture of the tannins is particularly fine and pleasant
and contributes to accentuate the length and persistence of the
finish.
PAIRINGS
Perfect on grilled meat and mature cheese.
