THE GRAPES AND THE VINEYARD
With the aim of obtaining a wine that could best represent the great potential of the Lazio vineyard we decided to focus our attention
on the Syrah variety. The care of the individual vines, with particular reference to the training system and production control, allow us to obtain
grapes of great balance, both from a sugar and phenolic point of view.
VINIFICATION
Immediately after the harvest and subsequent pressing, the grapes are sent to a cold pre-maceration phase for 4 or 5 days at a temperature of 18-20°C. This
technique best enhances the natural freshness and fragrance of the fruit. Fermentation then continues at a temperature of 25-27°C.
Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is put into wood where malolactic fermentation also takes place.
THE WINE
A wine with an intense colour with violet reflections, the bouquet is exalted by its scents of fresh fruit, cherry with spicy notes that blend with great balance and elegance
with those of vanilla and sweetness given by the wood. The taste is enveloping, silky, with soft tannins and a rich, persistent finish.
