Product notes
A gesture like Mucchietto represents a unique code. An Italian symbol, one that is unconventional and controversial, because the Italian way has no need to rely on stereotypes and clichés. This Italian way of being escapes definition, is something everyone seeks to replicate and yet is unattainable. ‘
Production notes
The grapes of Corvina and Cabernet organically grown are picked by hand and left to dry in wooden crates in the drying loft. There, by means of humidity control and air circulation, the grapes lose around 20% of their water content and achieve a high sugar concentration. Given that the grapes have differing ageing times, vinification takes place separately in steel tanks and normally is carried out for 20 days for both grape varieties. Malolactic fermentation follows and wine is racked to barrels and tonneuax for 3 months.
Tasting notes
Beautiful deep ruby red in color, an intense and lingering nose, with striking notes of red fruits and spicy overtones. Balanced, rounded, with velvety tannins.
