cold pre-fermentation maceration (10°-15° C). After a few days, the mass is heated and alcoholic fermentation is activated in steel tanks, at a controlled temperature for about two weeks. During this period, daily pumping over is carried out to promote the release of precious substances found in the grape skin.
TASTING NOTES

FOOD PAIRINGS
its velvety softness makes it an excellent accompaniment to red meats, especially in spicy dishes. Also good with pasta and game sauce
