VINIFICATION
We make a careful selection of Montepulciano grapes several times during the harvest period. After 18 hours of skin contact, a bleeding of the must and a light fermentation at low controlled temperatures takes place in stainless steel vats; natural stabilization. The wine remains, refining in stainless steel and is bottled mid- January.

TASTING NOTES
The name of this wine, ‘Cerasuolo,’ is derived from the Italian expression for its characteristic cherry-red color; its clean, intense, persistent bouquet has hints which are, at first, the delicate fragrance of rose petals and other flowers and then fruits – cherry, pomegranate and wild strawberries. It is delicately vinous, fresh and soft and pleasantly persistent. It is enriched by fresh-tasting acidity, has a fine body and a fruity finish, where red fruits persist with hints of tobacco and liquorice. It effortlessly accompanies robust fish dishes, grilled meats and substantial pasta or rice dishes, including those with wild-game sauces.
