vinification

Manual harvesting of the grapes which are de-stemmed, crushed and left to macerate for about 20/25 days in concrete tanks. During this period, a series of pumping over every other day and a delestage are performed.

These operations are used to promote oxygenation and to facilitate the passage of color and tannin. Then, at the end of the period where the must remained in contact with the skins, the racking takes place. The must obtained is placed in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 1 week.

The aging of the wine will continue in 500-liter oak barrels for 8 months until
bottling which usually takes place in summer. Then it will be left to refine in the bottle for at least 1/2 years, before being put on sale.

Tasting notes

Ruby red color with violet reflections. The scent is reminiscent of wild blackberry, raspberry, blueberry. With aging it evolves into an elegant bouquet of undergrowth, musk, essence. The flavor is full-bodied, not very alcoholic, with good fixed acidity, fresh and citrine

Pairing suggestions

Wine from rustic dishes of the local Friulian cuisine. Recommended with pappardelle with hare, wild boar and venison sauce.
