This expressive red wine is crafted from Nerello Mascalese co-planted with small percentages of Nerello Cappuccio and Alicante (Grenache), grown in basaltic soils of Contrada Monte Laguardia at 800-840m elevation. The 80-90-year-old vines produce a wine with exceptional purity. After harvesting in mid-October, 70% of the grapes were destemmed, with the rest left as whole bunches in a 30hl open wooden fermenter. The wine macerated for 14 days with gentle punchdowns, followed by refinement in large oak casks. No sulfur is added. Expect aromas of wild cherries, raspberries, and smokey minerality, with light tannins and balanced acidity enhancing its drinkability.
