Winemaking
grapes of Bonarda and Barbera, picked between September and October, are crushed together and then undergo the fermentation process in stainless steel, temperature-controlled tanks for 8 days. After 6 months of ageing, it is then time for a natural re-fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and then for bottling.

Tasting notes
it has a ruby red vivid color, with a light foam. On the nose recalls red berries. Fresh and pleasant on the palate, with a good tannin and body.

Serving suggestion
best served with semi-matured cheeses and white meat.
