Tasting Notes
Aroma
Pronounced and
intense aromas of ripe red and black cherries and
blackberries, paired with notes of spices and a hint of tar.
Appearance
Deep ruby purple colour.
Palate
Full bodied, with intense fruit on the palate that is paired
with refreshing acidity. The single vineyard Scarrone has
finesse, excellent balance, great complexity and a long
lingering aftertaste.
Vinification
The handpicked grapes were destemmed
and, after a short period of cold-maceration, fermented
in stainless steel tanks for about two weeks. During this
period, alcoholic fermentation, frequent remontages and
délestages were implemented to achieve a perfect
extraction of color and tannins.
Region Notes
The steep terraced single vineyard site Scarrone is
located in Castiglione Falletto, with a south-eastern
exposure. The oldest parcel of the vineyard is planted in
1918, with a density of 4,300 grapevines per hectare. The
vineyards soil is made of marl (clay in combination with
limestone). The yield which is low by nature due to the
age of the plants, is further reduced by a very strict
selection of the grapes.
