Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The soil is Galestro/Alberese. The Southwest-facing grapes were hand- harvested during the first two weeks of October. There are 10 days of fermentation at controlled temperatures. Maceration is over 15 days. The wine is then aged for 15 months in Slavonian Oak barrels, and is refined in the bottle for an additional 4 months. The aging potential is approximately 10-15 years.
Serving Hints
Suggested serving temperature of 60.8 – 64.4 (16-18 C). Pairs well with grilled meats, pasta with meat sauces, and mature cheeses.
