| 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 a constant temperature of 26 °C. The maceration is about 12 days long, with pumpovers exposed to the air till the end of the fermentation. |

| Pairing |
Fresh and easy wine, served in large glasses at the optimal temperature of 16-18°C, it is well paired with cold cuts and medium-aged cheeses, maybe slightly melted grilled. It is enhanced with tasty plates, such as “lasagne” and meat ragù “pici”, and also with chicken, rabbit or turkey based plates, rather stewed or slightly roasted. It repersents a must with mixed grilles and with sausages, where the fruits and its natural softness perfectly match the aromatic and smoky characteristics. |
