Appearance
The particular mineral component of the Bussia terroir gives the wine great structure and intense color.

Aroma
Scents of red fruits such as raspberry and very ripe pomegranate.

Palate
Clear and enveloping tannins with a long and consistent aftertaste, paired with spicy and balsamic notes.

Vinification
Fermented in steel and concrete tanks under strict temperature control (30C-32C), post-fermentation maceration, racked after 22/25 days, decanted, and by maintaining the right temperature malolactic process is induced. A long period of maturation in big barrels on oak, thereafter a period in bottle to complete the aging.

Vintage notes
The 2018 vintage benefited from a long and rainy winter: temperatures below the average of recent years allowed a slow and gradual vegetative restart of the vine, without spring frosts. Thanks to frequent rainfall and not too high temperatures, flowering and fruit set took place regularly and in optimal climatic conditions, without any thinning.
