(DETAILS)
01 Vinification

The grapes are grown in the vineyard of Tenute Masso Antico in accordance with organic farming methods and harvested by hand. After vinification, the wine is aged with a double passage in cocciopesto amphorae and in French and American oak barrels.The cocciopesto amphorae, a special mixture of crushed earthenware aggregates, fibres, stone fragments, sand, cement binder and water, guarantee to the wine a controlled micro-oxygenation and the result is a fully developed wine with peculiar and  genuine flavours.

02 Description

An intense ruby red colour, with scents of vanilla and chocolate, whisky and coffee. On the palate it is full-bodied and enveloping but at the same time harmonious.
