It is a bottle designed for those seeking a territorial, elegant, and coherent red, capable of uniting fruity richness, spices, and a pleasant vanilla imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Pontelatone area, about 120 meters above sea level, in a hilly context that enhances the ripening of the fruit. The clayey soils with the presence of calcareous elements contribute to defining a balanced and taut profile, suitable for a red wine with a strong but not excessive character. The manual harvest and the picking between the second and third decade of October indicate careful selection of the grapes, while the controlled temperature fermentation in steel helps preserve aromatic cleanliness and precision. The aging in oak barrels for six months, followed by further resting in the bottle, completes a broader and refined style, without distorting the varietal matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine presents itself with a \u003cstrong\u003eclear ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e, bright and inviting.
