Savvy Wine

Great red wine obtained respecting tradition and territory. The first fermentation takes place in autumn, after the harvest. At the beginning of spring it is then refermented (“ripassato”) on the Amarone grape marc still soaked in wine. This process gives the wine greater structure, personality, aromas and colour.

Production Technique
Manual harvesting from mid September.

Vinification: Pressing and destemming immediately after harvesting. Fermentation with a good maceration and at least two pumping overs per day, follows the first racking. The re-fermentation on the marc of Amarone in January (“ripasso”), gives it deeper color, structure and alcohol.

Ageing: 100% in Slavonian oak barrels, following ageing in the bottle

Wine Description
Ruby red color. Intense and peppery with notes of leather, cherry and plum jam, liquorice and ginger. Solid, vigorous, balanced flavor.

Winemaker’s recommendations
Excellent with a variety of meat dishes and mature cheeses.
