Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita
Classico riserva 2015

Soil
Alluvial origin, with fine and gravelly sediment, limestone.

Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and laid down to dry in crates inside the drying loft for about 3 months where they lose about 25-30% of their weight and substances in the grapes become concentrated. After crushing, fermentation is started in stainless steel tanks for about 1 month at a controlled temperature. Continuous punching down by hand is carried out to favour the extraction of colour and structure. Afterwards, about 70% of the wine is transferred to barriques and about 30% to French oak tonneaux, where malolactic fermentation takes place. After ageing for about 24 months in wood, the wine is racked into steel tanks and then refined in bottles for a further two years.

Tasting Notes
Beautiful deep red colour, it presents full to the nose, with aromas of wild berries, blackberry jam and spicy notes that recall cocoa and toasting. Rich in the mouth, warm and soft, with tannins already quite mature and silky, well-balance and persistent.

Harvest / 2015
2015 was characterized by extremely high temperatures and low rainfall during the growing season, factors that contributed to protecting the vines from pathogens. The high temperatures of July and August did not slow down the maturation of the grapes, which occurred earlier than usual.
