Soil Volcanic soils rich in minerals and organic substances. Winemaking and maturation Fermentation with maceration of the single varieties at controlled temperature until the end of it, racking off and soft pressing of the marc. Refining for about one year in different kinds of barrique, and a short rest in bottle before releasing on the market. Sensory analysis Dark ruby red and bright, of great substance. Very intense and complex on the nose with sensations of ripe red and black fruits like cherries in alcohol, plum, wild berries, then spicy notes as cardamom, china, nutmeg and black pepper, followed by blue flowers and underbrush, and a very pleasant balsamic note in the end. Smooth in the mouth, pleasantly tannic, great in the aromatic progression, well balanced, elegant and very long in persistence.
