Fermentation, maturation, ageing

Made of 100% Syrah from our “Spiaggia”vineyard.  Grapes are destemmend and given a 45 days maceration  in open french oak barriques. Malolactic fermentation and ageing are done in 500 litres french oak tonneau for about 14 months.  Bottling is done by gravity without any filtering and wine is then aged in the cellar for 6 months.

This is our first vintage of syrah and is the result of our deep passion for the biodynamic way of life  that is reflected both in the vineyard practices and in the cellar

Sensory profile

Purple-tinged deep ruby red. To the nose the bouquet has notes of ripe red berries and light spicy herbs. The closing notes reveal a delicate vanilla scent. In the mouth, a soft and warm body confirms the fruity imprint.
