A ruby red colour in the glass with violet reflections, a characteristic aroma of violet with hints of earth and spice stands out to the nose. On the palate, this wine is smooth, structured and delicately tannic to the taste.

Produced for more than two centuries on the slopes of the wonderful hills of Abruzzo, this variety spread quickly, reaching the vineyards distributed in all of the Regions of the Province. Grapes grown in pebbly-chalky terrain, at an altitude no higher than 300 m above sea level, and in a south/south-east position.

A careful control and analysis has identified the first 10 days of October as being the optimal harvest period. After a soft pressing of the grapes, the alcoholic fermentation occurs by means of submerged cap fermentation at a controlled temperature, in steel baths. An obligatory ageing period of around 5 months is expected.

Food Pairing: This wine best expresses itself when matched with meat-based first courses or moderately seasoned cheeses.
