Classic red vinification takes place in 70 hl stainless steel tanks, with targeted and repeated pump-overs that keep skins in contact with the must-wine for at least fifteen days, in order to transfer the colour, aromas and tannins of the dried grapes into the finished wine.

- Serving temperature: 6–8 °C
- Food pairings: Ideal with pasta dishes served with rich sauces, grilled meats, red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses

- Annual production: 14,000 bottles (only in vintages when the grapes reach excellent ripeness)
