Production Details The 2021 importer record, which warns that the delivered vintage or label may differ, describes hand-picked grapes dried on mats in the sun for approximately two weeks, followed by spontaneous fermentation with natural yeast, approximately 16 months in approximately 750 L tonneaux, and bottling without filtration. It describes the vines as at least 40 years old. The record prints acidity as 0.52 g/L without specifying analytical basis; this is retained contextually rather than proposed as total_acidity_gl.
Tasting Notes Deep dark burgundy-red; ripe red and dark berries, plums, dark chocolate and spice; sweet and fresh, with firm tannins, substantial concentration and a long berry-led finish
Food Pairing Dark chocolate, dark berries, firm cheeses such as pecorino or Parmesan, desserts and fruit; also suitable as an aperitif or digestif
