Alicante Nero

The colour is intense ruby red. Cherry, small red fruit, rose, violet, wet earth, graphite and dark spice are present. The palate is fresh, savoury and intense, with integrated tannins and a long fruit-and-flower finish. The vineyard lies at about 250 metres on clay, pebbles and sand. Twenty percent of the fruit is fermented as whole bunches, and maturation lasts ten months in concrete tanks.

Spicy, herbaceous aromas and a balsamic lift are present. The mouthfeel is lush and soft. Alicante Nero, Mourvèdre and Carignano come from three separate vineyards; all are harvested on the same day and co-fermented. Skin maceration lasts fifteen days, and ageing lasts ten months in concrete tanks. The wine is certified organic and comes from grapes grown biodynamically in Tuscany.
