Type of soil
The vines are located at an altitude of 116 m above sea level and grow on a soil of alluvial origin, characterised by a strong presence of mineral particles and pebbles. The south/south-easterly exposure blesses this location with plenty of sunshine, to ensure the grapes’ perfect ripeness year after year.
Grape Variety
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, selected from the excellent Ponticello vineyard.
Vinification
The grapes are vinified at a controlled temperature ranging between 25° and 28°C. Maceration lasts 12-15 days, during which manual “punch down” (the breaking of the cap of grape skins that forms over fermenting red wine) is regularly performed. After vinification, the wine is transferred into small French oak casks, where it is kept for 12 months. The last step is 5-6 months of bottle-ageing in our thermoregulated cellars (15-16°C).
Sensory Evaluation
The colour is intense ruby red with flashes of violet, and the nose is extremely varied, with hints of red berries and ripe plum, herbaceous nuances, and aromas of tobacco and vanilla. The full and round taste, rich in soft tannins, envelopes the palate and lingers pleasantly on the tongue.
Food pairing
At its finest when enjoyed with grilled meat, juicy dishes, and aged cheese.
