HISTORICAL NOTES
An ancient grape variety cultivated in the foothills and hillsides of Fondi.
The neighboring districts around Lake San Puoto have always been the cradle of this grape, which has been deeply rooted in the land since ancient Roman times.

GRAPE VARIETY AND PRODUCTION AREA
100% Abbuoto sourced from the vineyards of San Raffaele in the district of Fondi.
The vineyard is gently sloping and benefits from fertile soil, rich in organic matter, not far from the sea.

VINEYARD CULTIVATION AND WINEMAKING
The Guyot training system is employed, with a planting density of 4000 vines per hectare, resulting in an approximate yield of 80 quintals per hectare. Winemaking involves cold pre-maceration of the grape skins, followed by alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Numerous punch-downs are performed, and spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurs. The wine is aged in large oak barrels for approximately 6 months.

HARVEST TIME late-September.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
In a captivating amaranth red hue, this wine presents an aromatic profile where the enticing scents of plum and cherry intertwine with warm undertones of coffee, cocoa, and tobacco. The initial palate is refreshingly savory, gradually evolving into a more intricate composition supported by an elegant and creamy tannin structure. The finish lingers with subtle notes of cinnamon and juniper.

GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS
Pairs well with hearty soups, red meats, and aged cheeses.
