Harvest: hand-picked with grape selection into baskets from end of September to mid-October.

Vinification: selection of the grapes on a vibrating table, light crushing, fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature with frequent pump over and délestages. Maceration for about 15 days.

Ageing: about 18 months in traditional oak barrels and then in the bottles in underground cellar with controlled temperature until it is put up for sale.

Organoleptic characteristics: intense and luminous red color with shades ranging from ruby to garnet; very fine and elegant scent. Predominant is the floral part - we can find the classic violet with a slightly macerated evolution and at the end a delicate and balsamic spice. Full in the mouth and ample thanks to its silky tannins. A fine and elegant wine reminiscent of a young Barolo.

Food pairing:  the wine has a good tannin with an enveloping nuance of aromas that allow to combine it with aromaticity and succulence balanced dishes such as: snail soup; Milanese risotto with ossobuco; gray Carmagnola’s rabbit with pepper cream; barbecue lamb chops.
