Vineyards
The heart of the Abruzzo region in the Colline Teramane DOCG area. The soil consists of compact layers of shale and is rich in nutrients.
Winemaking
Carefully selected grapes are hand harvested in small boxes. The juice is fermented on the skins for a period of 15 to 18 days and then aged in oak for at least 16 months. Maturation in the bottle follows for an additional 6 months.
Tasting Notes
Color: Ruby red with great concentration and violet hues.
Bouquet: Intense, complex with notes of rich ripe cherries, blackberries, black currants and cloves.
Taste: Elegant, well-structured and perfectly balanced with supple tannins that allow for good longevity.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with red meats, roast pork, red-sauced pasta, and aged cheeses.
