Product description
This wine is made from 100% Croatina, from the hills of Monleale in Piedmont. The grapes grow on clay-limestone soils at 400 metres altitude and are harvested by hand in mid-September. A 10-day maceration is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and an eight-month ageing, supplemented by at least six months of bottle rest. The wine is closed with a Diam cork to preserve freshness.
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby colour with purple hues. The nose is expressive, with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, plums, violets and a hint of fresh herbs and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and lively, with rich notes of dark berries, fresh acidity and soft tannins that provide a balanced structure.
With an alcohol content of 15% and a powerful yet fresh style, this unfiltered wine has a storage potential of six to 10 years. It looks best with grilled meats, lamb dishes and mature cheeses. We recommend serving the wine at 16-18°C in a large wine glass for the best flavour experience.
Wine purchased via Onwine comes directly from the winery. All wineries pack the bottles themselves and hand them over to our shipping partner. Onwine works with boxes the size of 6 or 12 bottles.
To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.
The following shipping costs apply:
6 bottles at the same winery: €6,-

You can order from several wineries at the same time. The above shipping costs apply to each individual winery.
