THE GRAPE 
Grapes: Mainly Gaglioppo with little Magliocco.


THE WINE 

"Il Rosso" is meticulously crafted, comprising 92% Gaglioppo and Magliocco from the seaside Fego vineyard. The addition of Magliocco serves to soften Gaglioppo's robust tannins, resulting in a red wine that accentuates fruit on the palate. This unoaked creation is exceptionally well-balanced, offering a delightful blend of fresh floral aromas, crisp red fruit flavors, and a medium-bodied profile. Exhibiting notes of violet, licorice, a subtle hint of cinnamon, and a pleasing sapidity, the wine presents a well-defined tannic structure. With a 36-hour maceration in skins and a subsequent 24-month aging process in stainless steel, devoid of any wood influence, "Il Rosso" achieves a fruit-driven and refined outcome.


THE PAIRING
Perfect with legume soup and for fatty meat. Especially when you want to pair the meat with a medium-light wine, you don't want to compromise on the common neutralizing effect of tannins and fat.
