D.O.C.

TASTING NOTES Very intense, almost impenetrable ruby red.  Broad, elegant, very complex, with sweet notes of morello cherry, ripe plum, wild berries, mingling with intense notes of spice.  mouth filling and well-structured, velvety; sweet, close-knit tannins and acidity in perfect harmony with the wine's richness and concentration; long, lingering, mineral, fruity finish, with wild berry flavours that merge with intense and balsamic spicy notes.  TECHNICAL NOTES The grapes are carefully destemmed and the fruit are then crushed. Fermentation is carried out with maceration in temperature controlled stainless steel containers and in oak casks. The juice is pumped over the cap frequently for about three weeks, in order to extract colour and aroma compounds from the skins. The wine is then racked. The wines are blended and racked into barriques, where they mature for about 18 months. The bottled wine is aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars for a minimum of 12 months.
