Manual harvest from the beginning of October in the Negrar area (50-100 year-old vines) following light over-ripening on the vine. After soft crushing and destemming, fermentation begins, controlled at 25°C in stainless steel tanks. Frequent pumping over and one delestage at one third of the fermentation process allow for optimal extraction of aromas and structure, without removing freshness from the final wine. Natural malolactic fermentation in wood.
Aged for at least 1 year in 20-30 hl Slavonian oak barrels, 6 months in raw cement "Tulipe" vessels, and subsequent bottle aging.

APPEARANCE: Impenetrable ruby red color with brilliant highlights.
BOUQUET: Fruity and intense on the nose, with fine hints of ripe Morello cherry and raspberry, plum, and blackberries. Aging in wood evokes slight notes of hazelnut and Sarawak pepper.
TASTE: On the palate, it is dry yet velvety and well-balanced, with a pleasant background of enveloping jam, slow-cooked just as it was prepared in the old days. Balanced in structure, it expresses itself with a fine quality texture and pleasant persistence.
