In the glass, it’s a shimmering garnet red moving to pink at the rim, with a fascinating assortment of aromas that includes wild strawberry, ruby-red grapefruit, dried rose petals, coriander, tomato leaf, white pepper, underbrush. It is also a touch more linear, with a touch more tannic backbone than the typical soft-shouldered Schiava, with a long, floral finish so mouth-watering you can’t wait to take another sip.
Fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks with skins and stems. Malolactic fermentation and maturation in used oak casks. Two years aged in large Slavonian oak casks and a year in bottle before release. Unfined/Unfiltered.
