In the glass
Aroma: Marano valley cherry, concentrated red fruit
Palate: enveloping fruit, long persistent close
A great concentration of scents recalling the cherry typical of the Marano valley, then an enveloping palate with a long and persistent aftertaste, from grapes that lose about forty percent of their weight in the drying room.
What it pairs with
-
Braised beef
Enveloping fruit and firm tannin are what a long braise asks for. -
Roast goose
The wine's concentration meets rich poultry fat. -
Aged pecorino
Salt sharpens the cherry note and shortens the alcohol.
History
The estate selects the loosest, best-exposed bunches, which dry in wooden crates from harvest until December, losing about forty percent of their weight through water loss and the physical and chemical changes that give the wine its bouquet. Fermentation is in steel and ageing runs forty-two months in 3000-litre casks.
