History and Winemaking

Malvasia Nera grapes are harvested in the second ten days of September. Red winemaking takes place in temperature-controlled steel silos. The wine rests for **6 months in steel** to maintain aromatic integrity, and completes aging with **a few months in the bottle**. The process aims to highlight the floral and spicy notes typical of the variety.

Organoleptic Profile

Appearance: Ruby red color, tending towards cardinal red.

Nose: **Broad, complex**, with hints of **Mediterranean scrub flowers and spices**.

Palate: **Pleasant**, with a **slightly robust and pungent entry** that opens up more delicately on the back palate. Persistence is just right in length. It’s a wine that “goes off-script” due to its particular taste evolution.
