The ripe grapes are selected in the vineyard, harvested by hand in crates in the coolest hours of the day, crushed and destemmed and carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation tanks. After the start of fermentation, the temperature is gradually raised, up to a maximum of 28 ° C towards the end of the fermentation process. The maceration on the skins is managed with daily short pumping over and déléstage operations and lasts about 15 days. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and then refines in the same tanks on the fine lees for about 10 months. The operations of decanting, stabilization and bottling follow.

The color is deep ruby red, intense and brilliant with violet reflections; typically Mediterranean scent, warm and richly fruity, with notes of small black berries, thyme, nepetella and pink pepper. The long, consistent and silky tannins, well balanced by fullness and acidity, give immediate drinkability, together with a long evolution in the bottle.

Temperature around 15 ° C in medium-sized glasses.

Ideal with land appetizers of the Maremma tradition (wild boar salami and cheeses) and roasted red meats.
