Characterised by spontaneous fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels, this wine presents a garnet red colour with ruby reflections, revealing aromas of blackberry, raspberry and rosehip, enriched by hints of undergrowth and spices. On the palate, it expresses a velvety body with light, silky tannins, supported by a lively acidic tension and a fine mineral texture. The long, savoury finish offers a fresh, elegant and remarkably balanced sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the \u003cstrong\u003ehillside vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e of San Michele ad Appiano, at an altitude between 430 and 450 metres.
