| Descriptive
notes: |
|
A
prestigious Dolcetto wine obtained from an accurate thinning
out and selection of bunches during the grape harvest. A balanced,
full-bodied and well-structured deep ruby red coloured wine
with a young, fresh, fruity, delicately vinous and velvety
scent. A relatively long maceration and a brief permanence
in wooden barrels make this wine more pulpous and velvety. |

Medium-long
maceration of the grape skins; fermentation temperature: 25/28°
