Nose
The nose displays an uncommon grace and delicacy, with notes of fruit that are enfolding and ultra-smooth, and just a touch of that herbaceousness classic to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Palate
That same smoothness marks the palate as well, then the finish displays a fine, judicious crispness, both qualities making this wine both immediately delicious yet suitable as well for cellaring.
Growing Conditions
Grapes: Incrocio Manzoni 2.15, grown exclusively in our estate vineyards Location: hills on the left bank of the Piave river Aspect: south Soils: predominantly clay
Harvest
Yield per hectare: 70 quintals Harvest period: 15-25 September
Winemaking
Vinification: after the clusters are de-stemmed and pressed and the wine fermented, it macerates on the skins 8-10 days; the wine is filtered, and then begins its maturation.
Aging
Maturation: stainless steel tank for 12 months, 1 month in big barrel, then some months in bottle.
Appearance
It appears a spacious and luminous ruby red.
Food Pairing
It is excellent with lighter meat dishes. But try it too as a more unexpected partner to full-flavoured fish for instance, fish soups, chowders, etc; it is also a fine accompaniment to briefly-aged raw-milk cheeses.
