The winemaking for this complex wine from Romagna follows the traditional method with a long maceration on the skin, daily pump over and 2 delestages (racking). Part of the grapes are harvested late and the vinification takes place separately. The wine is then aged in big French oak casks. It's a complex and intense wine with a ruby red colour. Cherry and violet notes on the nose are enriched by plum, berries and licorice scents, thanks to the partial drying process at the vines. The palate is full, round, spicy and persistent with sweet tannins. Try this with typical regional recipes, such as handmade pasta with meat sauce, roasts, grills and aged cheeses.
