Vinification and ageing

The Grignolino grapes are picked when absolutely fully ripe and are then vinified in the traditional manner with a maceration on the skins for four days, in order to extract just the right amount of colour and tannins, and also to emphasize the wine’s floral perfumes.

Fruity, with characteristically spicy notes.

Lightly tannic, with an agreeably almondy background.
