  • Terroir
    This wine is born in Emilia-Romagna, on the hills of Castel San Pietro Terme, located 250 to 450 metres above sea level. The 130-hectare vineyards are protected by the striking Calanchi Azzurri (badlands) and enjoy an ideal micro-climate with a wide temperature range, constant wind and a lot of sun.

  • Vinification and maturation
    The wine is made under temperature-controlled conditions that allow a long and constant maceration of the marc. Maturation takes place in 30-hectolitre oak barrels for six months, followed by another 12 months in five-hectolitre Allier tonneaux and several months in the bottle.
  • Features
    Clear ruby red with garnet highlights. Very complex nose with persistent aromas of ripe fruit, spice and light oak. A wine with good balance, structure and body.
  • Food Pairings
    Perfect with grilled or roasted red meat and flavourful cheeses.
