The grapes for this wine come from the most suitable and oldest vineyards in Mazon and Ghirlan. These vineyards are particularly suitable due to their microclimatic conditions as well as the age of the vines, which they have proven over decades. The bulk of the grapes come from Mazon, which has mostly deep clay and limestone soils. The second part comes from the oldest vineyards in Ghirlan, where there are moraine deposits on volcanic porphyry rock.
The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excessive pressure on the berries. The grapes - 10% are vinified as whole bunches - gravity-fed into steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation (20-24 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in barriques and small wooden barrels (12 hl). This is followed by ageing for 8 months in large wooden barrels (70 hl). Finally, the wine is aged for a further 8 months in bottle.
Ruby red in colour with light hints of grenadine and an intense and complex bouquet with notes of ripe fruit, cherry and maraschino. The wine is elegant but rich, with a fine flavour and excellent tannin structure and persistence.
