Production Details Grapes come from Tenuta Vigne Vecchie. Fermentation and maceration are temperature-controlled for an average 10–12 days; the wine is transferred to cement tanks for malolactic fermentation and then to barriques. It matures for 12 months in barriques and rests in bottle for at least 6 months. The 10–12-day range and month-based maturation periods are retained as text rather than converted to exact-day fields.
Tasting Notes Ruby red; cherry and other red-fruit aromas, Mediterranean-scrub balsamic notes and light sweet spice; warm and soft with velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish
Food Pairing Traditional land-based first courses, grilled meats, grilled tuna belly, roast kid and well-aged cheeses

Production Details Fruit was harvested fully ripe to almost over-ripe. The table lists a 20-day alcoholic fermentation at 80°F in stainless steel, followed by full malolactic fermentation in cement and transfer to French-oak barriques. Aging containers are listed as three years old and their size as 225, but no size unit is printed. The sheet is internally inconsistent on extraction and maturation: it lists 20 days of maceration and 10 days on skins while the prose gives an average 10–12 days; it lists one year before bottling and seven months in bottle while the prose separately mentions two months and another six months. No exact maceration or aging-day claim is therefore proposed.
Tasting Notes Ruby red with violet hue; intense ripe-fruit and jam aromas; full, harmonious and warm with persistent fruit notes
Food Pairing Well-dressed first courses, grilled tuna belly, roast suckling pig, roast kid and mature cheeses

Production Details Fruit was harvested fully ripe to almost over-ripe. The table lists a 20-day alcoholic fermentation at 80°F in stainless steel, full malolactic fermentation in cement and transfer to French-oak barriques. Aging containers are listed as three years old and their size as 225 without a printed unit. The page conflicts internally on extraction and maturation: tabular data gives 20 days of maceration and 10 days on skins while prose gives an average 10–12 days; the table gives one year before bottling and seven months in bottle while prose mentions two months followed by another six months. No exact maceration or aging-day claim is proposed.
