Spurred cordon (Royat cordon). |
Harvest |
Manual in boxes at the end of September. |
Vinification |
The grapes carefully harvested are manually selected on a sorting belt in the winery, before the beginning of the alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts, at controlled temperature. The maceration is about 25-30 days long, with pumpovers exposed to the air till the end of the fermentation and manual cap punching. |
Ageing |
Malolactif fermentation: spontaneously in big wooden barrels and “second passage” barriques. Maturation: 24 months in French oak barriques of “second passage” and 42 hl barrels with repeated batonnages in order to promote the extraction from the lees. Not less than 6 months in bottle. |
Pairing |
It is a wine of great personality, which allows equally important combinations; its great drinkability makes it pleasant with strong taste seasoned cheeses. It is a natural companion of all red meats, roast feathered game, and important meat sauces, such as duck or rabbit sauce. It also accompanies well dishes of chitterlings such as liver or traditional Tuscan “crostini”. It is, however with the traditional “Fiorentina” steak that the combination becomes exciting. |
