These vines are planted in mineral-rich volcanic soil at the foot of the Monti Prenestini. The grapes are harvested and carefully selected around Fall, the must is then fermented at a controlled temperature for a few months in steel fermenters together with the grape skins. The sunny and warm climate gives this wine its unique organoleptic features and its unmistakable taste and bouquet.
It is made fromShiraz or Teroldego grapes (depending on the year).
It is deep ruby red and has a rather winey scent with notes of unripe cherry and green apple. It feels dry, soft and mineral yet pleasing to the palate.
It pairs very well with roast chestnuts, local meat-based starters and vegetables soups. A bolder yet pleasing combination sees it paired with the traditional “pampepato” Olevanese.
