The style of this particularly traditional wine producer is emphasised by the exclusive use of the Serego Alighieri clone of the Molinara grape, and by the signature short-term ageing in 600-litre cherry wood casks. A normal fermentation for 15 days in stainless steel is followed in December by a ‘double’ fermentation using semi-dried grapes harvested later than the main crop. After 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels there follows the crucial four months in cherry wood, then a further six months in bottle. A Maraschino cherry character comes across on the aroma, as well as cinnamon and the merest hint of clove. Fresh acidity and textured, ripe, slightly dry tannins underpin the dark, soft cherry fruit on the palate. The finish is pleasingly extended.
