Classification: Menfi DOC

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon 70%, Cabernet Franc 30%

Tasting: Characterized by a deep garnet color. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit, with spicy nuances of tobacco and cinnamon. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a harmonious blend of rich and complex fruit flavors. A long finish of dark chocolate and licorice, making for a powerful and elegant vintage. A magnificent vintage, and the wine is born in its prime condition.

Production Method: After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks for alcoholic
fermentation. Depending on the fermentation stage, short pump-overs (circulation) are performed twice a day for 10-15 minutes to gently extract from the skins. The fermentation period is approximately 6-8 days. The temperature is gradually increased from 15-16℃ initially, to 20-22℃ temporarily, and finally to 26-27℃ at the end, then cooling is stopped to complete fermentation. After 12-15 days of maceration with the skins in contact with the wine, the wine is racked. During this maceration period, the temperature is maintained at approximately 20-22℃, and micro-oxygenation (micro-oxygen supply) is performed to dissolve trace amounts of oxygen. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine, with its lees thoroughly integrated, is transferred to French oak barrels for 16 months of aging.

Pairing: Pairs well with game and braised red meat dishes. Also suitable for a wide range of dishes such as aged cheeses.
