Winemaker Notes
After the harvest in the first days of October, the vinification happens mixing together all the 3 different grape varieties, Prugnolo Gentile, Canaiolo and Colorino, since the beginning, otherwise the must could have rejections. Follows a fermentation with a long maceration, for at least 20 days. This Nobile is released on the market after the second year of aging both in French and Slavonian barrels. Great intensity and structure. The nose reveals a delicate scent of violet. On the palate it conveys a pleasant plum taste and dry flavor.
