$26.95

Rossorosso, our red wine is produced from three vineyards lying on different elevations. Our purpose is to achieve the same grapes but with completely different organoleptic qualities in order to have a blend of high organoleptic profile. Our grapes are harvested by hand once they are slightly overripe, thus a very small quantity of grapes is first selected and then placed on reed mats in the drying area before vinification.

Our purpose is to achieve the same grapes but with completely different organoleptic qualities in order to have a blend of high organoleptic profile. Our grapes are harvested by hand once they are slightly overripe, thus a very small quantity of grapes is first selected and then placed on reed mats in the drying area before vinification. Their fermentation occurs at a constant temperature of 25°C with maceration of the must on the grape skins for 10 days. This wine is aged in 10- and 25-hectoliter oak barrels for a time ranging from 10 to 12 months altogether, followed by a further ageing in bottle enabling the wine to achieve high-quality and be ready for release.
