Production Details Selected bunches were dried on bamboo racks under the NASA control system for more than 120 days, losing about 40% of their weight by mid-February. Fermentation lasted 45 days; a 35-day final fermentation in 30–40 hL barrels was induced with alcohol-resistant selected yeasts and accompanied by malolactic fermentation. Maturation lasted 38–40 months in 600 L Slavonian- and Allier-oak casks, divided equally among new, second-passage and third-passage wood, followed by at least six months in bottle.
Tasting Notes Deep ruby red; ripe berries and fruit preserved in spirit with cocoa and cinnamon; full-bodied with silky tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long marasca-cherry and cinnamon finish
Food Pairing Red meat, game and mature cheeses; also suitable at the end of a meal
