Basal part of the alluvial Faedo fan, calcareous soil, deep, medium texture, fairly good presence of skeleton, good organic matter supply and balanced content of nutrients.

Harvesting

Vinification

Serving temperature 
We recommend to open the bottle an hour before serving at 18-20°C. To get the best from the wine, allow it to breathe by decanting.  

Tasting notes and table companions
Ruby red colour with garnet highlights; airy, slightly grassy and characteristic aroma; dry, well-balanced and very balanced taste. Noble, elegant and long-lasting wine.

Fine with first courses dressed with meat or mushroom sauces. Ideal partner for roasts and game.
