100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Caparrone vineyard
Also referred to as the ‘one night wine’ because the grape skin is soaked for only a few hours, it is this brief soaking process that gives the wine its typical bright pink hue.
After manual harvest second half of October, grapes are de-stemmed and macerated for 18 hours at a temperature of 8 – 10°C. Ageing in stainless steel tanks. Bright pink. Floral aromas of rose, violet, and fruity pomegranate. On the palate, this wine is fresh and well-balanced.
This wine’s versatility is a result of its good structure and balanced acidity. Great with Italian-style starters of cured meats and medium-aged cheeses. Goes very well as an accompaniment for blue fish or fish soups. Excellent with sushi
