Brief Description

Tasting Notes

The palate is full bodied and packed with juicy fruit characters of cherry, sour cherry and blackberry with an intense balsamic note lingering at the finish.

The wine has supple tannins, which is well balanced against the gentle acidity and overall has good structure and a long finish.

About

The grapes for this wine are grown in 15-20 year old vineyards in the production zones of Ortona, San Salvo and Pollutri.

The winemakers deliver a freshness and directness of fruit that sets them apart from other wines from this area. most of which either buy in bulk or use a co-operative system, neither of which work as well as this wineries team.

The grapes are all handpicked, with fermentation taking place over 15 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in 80% stainless steel tanks and 20% oak barrels, which softened the acidity and added complexity to the final wine.

Ideal with...

Hearty, savory dishes, such as beef brisket, hamburgers, beef bolognese, tagliatelle, ragu and high-protein pizzas. It's also a great option for grill enthusiasts, pairing well with smoked or barbecued meats.
