FOOD PAIRINGS:

Mater Matuta Casale del Giglio is a perfect rosso for the whole meal. Excellent to pair with meat dishes and especially with moderately aged cheeses.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Syrah (85%) and Petit Verdot (15%)*. The grapes for both varieties are harvested in an excellent state of ripeness, sometimes slight withering for the Syrah. Vinification involves different techniques for the two varieties. Syrah ferments with indigenous yeasts according to the submerged cap technique for a period of 18-20 days, during which periodic "délestage" takes place, especially in the early stages. Syrah thus gives Mater Matuta complexity and character, with sweet tannins and intense aromas of morello cherry and spices. For Petit Verdot, on the other hand, vinification takes place through the use of fullers that allow maximum extraction of tannins and polyphenolic substances. The result is a Petit Verdot with great body and structure that lends itself well to long aging. After careful racking, where the handling of the pomace takes place only by gravity, the wines are placed separately in new barriques for 22-24 months. Further aging of 10-12 months in bottle follows.
