Kerres, made from pure Piedirosso grapes, has decisively marked the history of the winery, making it clear – well beyond regional boundaries – the potential of this grape variety.
Blu Astro – 100% Piedirosso, which we could define as the younger and nobler brother of Kerres – comes from a special and unique soil, composed of gray-blue marls rich in marine fossils. It is therefore a soil of great value, capable of shaping wines of great depth and longevity, characterized by an important structure, olfactory complexity, and pronounced finesse. The training system is simple Guyot; the yield per hectare is around 20 quintals.
The first vintage was 2011, it fermented in barrique and was aged for one year in barrique and for six years in bottle; 698 bottles were produced. For the 2012 vintage, 1000 bottles were produced. Visually, the wine presents a very dark ruby red color, almost black and impenetrable, with purple-red hues. The olfactory analysis reveals aromas of violet, raspberry, fresh blackberry, mulberry, plum, and licorice, accompanied by slight notes of carob and tobacco. The Piedirosso grape gives the nose a lively vein that strikes immediately: a fresh, crisp, juicy, youthful, and agile note. The olfactory profile is complex and refined. Excellent taste-olfactory persistence, with silky tannins and infinite freshness; the sapidity is long and intense. It is a wine that surprises with the elegance and finesse of its nuances, as well as its smooth and velvety progression. A wine of great balance and harmony, yet endowed with strong character and personality. Visually, the wine presents a very dark ruby red color, almost black and impenetrable, with purple-red hues.
