Grapes: Montepulciano
(native vine).

Vinification: selection and harvesting of
the grapes by hand, long maceration of the

Aging: initial aging in stainless steel tanks
with subsequent aging in large barrels,

evolution in small barrels. This fi xed
procedure exalts the congenital fruity
peculiarities of the Montepulciano grape
variety.

shades.

cherry jam, hints of violet. Appreciable

persistent final.
