Pignolo
Grapes:
Pignolo.
Harvest:
Manual harvest.
Wine making and ageing:
It ages for several months in barriques, then in large oak barrels followed by a period of bottle-ageing.
Colour:
Solid ruby red with purple shades.
Aroma:
Deep and fruity nose gorgeously layered with plum jam, blueberry and black cherry as well as floral hints of rosehip and violet. Eventually it displays a delicate and balsamic note of eucalyptus and tobacco leaf.
Sensory characteristics:
It is masculine, powerful and almost chewable with a backbone loaded with well ripened and quality tannins. An outstanding wine disclosing an endless persistence.
Pair it with aged blue cheese or with ground game and game bird.
