Colle al fico

The soil under the rows is clay-limestone, swept by frequent sea breezes.

Tasting

Aroma, flavor and perfume

Of an intense and brilliant ruby red color, it expresses a voluptuous and multifaceted aromatic spectrum, led by notes of spices and underbrush and followed by nuances of vanilla and a cascade of wild berries.

The aromas are transferred to the palate with great consistency, expanding the taste and deepening the reminiscences. A varietal, territorial red.

Production method

The production method is strictly aimed at defending the territorial connotation.

The grapes are harvested by hand and scrupulously culled as soon as they reach the winery. Vinification is carried out in tapered oak vats, and skin contact goes on for about 25 days. The wine is aged in barriques, a small portion of them new, for 18 months.
