WINEMAKING
The grapes are pressed, then left to macerate on the skins for 8-10 hours at 10°C. During fermentation carried out at controlled temperature for 10-12 days, the must undergoes frequent remontages to favor extraction. After malolactic fermentation, it is transferred to oak barriques where it ages for 12 months before being assembled and bottled. Fining in bottle for 6-7 months.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Great to accompany main courses typical of the Veneto region, such as risotto with porcini mushrooms or radicchio, red meat stews and mature cheeses. To be served at 16°-18°C.
