Ruby red in colour. Bouquet of red rose, hibiscus flower and violet combined with the fragrance of cherry, redcurrant and orange zest. Hints of Mediterranean scrub with marjoram, myrtle and eucalyptus emerge in the finish. Savoury and fruity on the palate with a fresh, fine tannic texture. The finish is precise, Mediterranean and persistent.

Each variety is harvested by hand at full ripening in small baskets. Pievi is fermented in wooden barrels of 33 hl size with natural yeasts only. The cap is pushed down by hand twice a day and in the first days of fermentation. Frequent delastages are performed to let the must breathe. Normally the fermentation takes 2 weeks for each variety, after which the wine is blended and transferred into 2 and 3 year old barriques for the malolactic fermentation.
