Made from Pignolo grapes that have dried on racks for 40 days. The wine matures in 5hl Slovenian oak barrels and in both new and used barriques for around 30 months. A deep, ruby-garnet color and aromas of black pepper and dark cacao on a background of cherry with herbal hints. While the attack of the mouthfeel is similar to that of Tazzelenghe, the finish is very different, dominated by tannins with extraordinary texture and sweetness. The aftertaste is long, dark and fruity. This should be allowed to age a few more years in the bottle.
Bottles produced: 3,750.
