Tasting Notes
Aroma
The nose, while stark to begin with, reveals complex floral notes that
emerge after a few minutes in the glass. Striking notes
include red fruit, chalk and white pepper.
Maturation
Around 32 months in large oak barrels.
Appearance
Intense garnet-red colour.
Palate
It is fine on the palate, with hints of ripe red berries. The taught, compact
tannins make this a very classic wine. The acidity is
vibrant and vertical. Very elegant and refined. We recommend
decanting a few hours before serving.
Vinification
Grapes harvested by hand on 14 October
2019. After gentle pressing, the juice fermented for around
four to five weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This
period included pre- and post-ferment maceration, involving
the traditional submerged-cap method. Slow malolactic
fermentation in barrels, finishing in late spring. The wine then
spent over a year on the lees without racking.
Range Notes
The grapes come from the famous MGA “Ravera”
vineyard located in the municipality of Novello. Limestoneand
clay-rich soil with Marls of Saint Agatha present.
Ravera in Novello is a fabulous hillside vineyard with a
western/south-western exposure. Altitude around 400 m
asl; the average age of the vines is 34 years and there is
a density of around 4500 plants per hectare over a total
area of around 2.1 hectares. The oldest part was planted
in 1935.
Food Matching
Game, red meat, and mature cheese.
