Biferno DOC

Deep ruby colour opens with spice, vanilla, cinnamon and wood. The palate is smooth and velvety, with delicate tannins, while cherry, plum and vanilla accompany the full, rounded finish. The blend is eighty percent Montepulciano and twenty percent Aglianico from Molise, Italy. Maturation takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in 500-litre tonneaux for at least thirty-six months. The wine contains fourteen percent alcohol.

Montepulciano and Aglianico come from clay soils at one hundred metres in Campomarino. The wine spends about a month in contact with the skins and completes malolactic fermentation. Maturation takes place partly in cask and partly in stainless steel, followed by six months in bottle. Plum, leather, liquorice and spice appear within a full, soft and velvety profile.
