Description
The marriage of tradition and modern winemaking is most evident in PassioneSentimento Rosso. Corvina, Croatina and Merlot are handpicked, and a portion of the Corvina and Merlot are then set in small crates in the “Fruttaio” till the grapes lose 30% of their water content. The resulting extract exhibits a higher concentration of sugars, richer fruit characteristics, stronger natural aromas, and elements of the terroir. This is then blended with the juice from the non-dried grapes and vinified in stainless steel tanks. Following the fermentation process, the wine is then transferred to age in oak tonneaux for around 3 months and then aged in the bottle. The finished wine is a vibrant ruby red, with hints of cherry, plum and spice characteristics, round and rich with velvety tannins and a powerful structure.
Style
Deep ruby red in colour. The nose has intense aromas of red berries with hints of spices. The palate is balanced with velvety tannins, and it has a soft and round finish.
Food Pairings
Great with red meat and game or with aged cheese.
