The grape and the vineyard

In our farm which covers about 36 hectares in the municipality of Montalto Uffugo, we have identified and selected an area that has the ideal exposure, position and composition for the production of a great Magliocco.

Vinification

The techniques in the vineyard, including the summer thinning out, are all aimed to limit the production between 1000 and 1100 grams of grapes per plant. The grapes are selected individually by skilled hands and open eyes before starting the wine making, which takes into account, inter alia, a 20% draining and a long period of steeping.

The wine

The colour is deep ruby red with purplish highlights. The nose is intense, persistent; lengthy finish with hints of ripe blackberry and cherry and juniper berry. The taste is savory, warm, pleasantly astringent, rich._ The aftertaste: balanced tannins with fruity and spicy notes.
