The grape and the vineyard
In our farm which covers about 36 hectares in the municipality of Montalto Uffugo, we have identified and selected an area that has the ideal exposure, position and composition for the production of Nerello and Magliocco.
Vinification
The techniques in the vineyard, including the summer thinning out, are all aimed to limit the production between 1000 and 1100 grams of grapes per plant.
The wine
Bright cherry red colour. A rich, full nose releases clean fruity scents with hints of ripe raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant. In the mouth is dry and soft, enough zesty, savoury and full- bodied.
