«Thus a single heat of many embers is felt ..." - (Dante) Intense color with purple reflections, tending towards garnet. Soft, elegant, sumptuous on the palate, it gives the nose an intense and rich bouquet and a long persistence of taste-olfactory sensations. The overripeness of the grapes, or rather the forced wilting of the berries, gives the wine a complex structure. It is a wine that develops all its potential already during aging in small wooden barrels, which, in addition to stabilizing the colour, induces a reduction in astringency; the wine acquires a fresh aroma and a regal sumptuousness. Its aromas of flowers and fruit are clearly evident: mint, plum, very subtle notes of fruit, licorice, vanilla and spices. The softness of its long flavor closes with a pleasant bitter vein of the vine from which it derives: Negroamaro. GRAPE VARIETIES: Negroamaro 100%
