its best expression on the Breccia hill for its clayey soil and
southern exposure.
VARIETAL

SOIL

VINIFICATION
Manual harvesting of the grapes at full ripeness and fermentation in steel tanks with daily pumping over and a long maceration between 15 and 20 days depending on the vintage.
REFINEMENT
In small cement tanks for 15 months with natural stabilization due to weather and cold winters, followed by only a light filtration.
TASTING
It has a garnet red color typical of the Cesanese with a beautiful brightness. The nose is inviting and clean, characterized by small red fruits, cherry and raspberry, followed by a delicate floral bouquet of rose. In the mouth it enters soft and enveloping with a silky, non-invasive tannin.
The structure accompanies the sip with balance to a clean finish and fruity hints of cherry under spirits.
