Product notes
Firriato is an Italian term meaning joint, which, by a strange linguistic trick, relates to the term Clos used in reference to French estates.
Production notes
Traditional vinification of red wine, maceration in stainless steel fermenters at controlled temperature. Fermentation period 10 days at 24°-28°C. Six months aging in American barrels.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby color, brilliant, with aromas of cherry and blueberry as well as hints of vanilla and spices. Opulent and well-balanced, it presents itself on the palate with seductive fullness and soft tannins. Pairings with pasta, BBQ and braised lamb.
