VALLI DI PORTO PINO I.G.T.
Local grape varieties and Syrah
Vineyards in the lower Sulcis region cultivated using the low bush (alberello) and counter-espalier vine training systems.
Relatively loose and medium-textured, sandy and calcareous.
Harvested by hand from early September to mid-October.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of around 15 days, during which time the maceration and frequent pumping over facilitates the complete extraction of the phenolic compounds contained in the skins. In early December, the wine begins the ageing process in fine-grain French oak barrique, where it will remain for a period of around 12 months. The wine therefore acquires complexity, elegance and longevity. The ageing continues in the bottle for approximately 6 months.
Grilled red meats, roast goat and lamb, medium and mature cheeses.
Colour: very deep, dark ruby.
Aromas: complex and velvety-smooth-silky, hints of dried fruit and flowers, spicy notes of vanilla and black pepper.
Flavour: balanced in terms of its extractive components; structured, round, elegant, harmonious.
16 °C – 18 °C
