Story and Longevity

COLOMITO is the flagship wine of Agricola Sanchirico, obtained through a rigorous process that enhances the structure of Negroamaro and the softness of Malvasia Nera. The total aging of over two years (barrel and bottle) qualifies it as a Riserva and gives it **excellent aging potential (estimated 6-8 years and beyond)**. Decanting is recommended before serving to best appreciate the complex aromatic profile.
