Vinification: This wine is born by the union of important grape varieties of Abruzzo, Puglia and Sicily. The grapes, after a slight withering on the vine, are handpicked and put in little baskets. Soft stalk-stripping is followed by cold maceration for 4 days at 4℃. Maceration fermentation lasts for 20-24 days at 24 ℃. Then malolactic fermentation in barriques is followed by 9-12 months' maturation. 
 
Colour: Very deep red with garnet highlights. 
 
Bouquet: Very persistent with notes of cherry, plums, ripe blackcurrant, tobacco and final toasty taste. 
 
Taste: Great structure, soft, plenty of velvety tannins, very persistent with a long finish, spicy notes of vanilla and chocolate.
