Notes & Flavors
The Red Nemorino’s composition varies slightly from vintage to vintage. It is primarily composed of Syrah (about 60%), with additions of Merlot and Sangiovese, as well as small shares of Alicante.
The wine’s ageing takes place in 300 and 500 litres medium-toasted French oak tonneaux for six to eight months. Once the cuvée has been achieved, the wine rests in a concrete tank. Before being bottled, this wine is made undergo mild filtering. The bottle remains in the cellar for another six months before being placed on the market.
Wine of great immediacy, of an intense purple colour. The olfactory profile is dominated by Syrah and Sangiovese, marasca cherry and mammola violet. The tannin is light. The finish is long, leaving the palate dry and round. Excellent with aperitivo and pasta dishes. It also matches well white or red meat dishes, cooked or grilled.
