Winemaking method: Grapes harvested in late September or early October are air-dried on bamboo racks in an attic with large windows until mid-February. Botrytis cinerea only develops on the Corvina variety. After that, natural cold fermentation takes place for 45 days in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation. For aging, 60% of the wine is aged for 36 months in 30-40hl large Slavonian oak barrels, and 40% in 600L Slavonian oak barrels and Allier oak barrels (new, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year old barrels). Minimum 6 months of bottle aging.

Pairing: Ideal to enjoy on its own as an after-dinner drink. Also pairs well with red meat dishes, game such as quail, and aged cheeses like Parmigiano and Pecorino.
