FORTIFIED RED WINE
From native red grapes
Vineyards cultivated using the low bush (alberello) and espalier vine training systems.
Calcareous, clayey mixed with sand.
Grapes are harvested by hand from late September to late October. The grapes are left to dry naturally on the vine and are harvested in several stages, each time picking only those bunches that have become sufficiently ripe.
The selected grapes are vinified using the classic red wine vinification technique. Once approximately 1/3 of the residual sugars remains, the wine is chilled to stop the fermentation process. Vinous alcohol is then added to produce a fortified wine with a significant quantity of residual sugar and a final alcohol content of approximately 17%. It is then aged in oak barrique for several years before bottling.
Perfect with almond paste desserts, dark chocolate and mature cheeses such as Fiore Sardo. A wine for meditation, to be enjoyed in total relaxation, even after a meal.
Colour: amber with red garnet reflections.
Aromas: intense, balsamic, with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and essences of Mediterranean maquis, myrtle and juniper.
Flavour: enveloping, warm, full and persistent.
12 °C – 14 °C
