HISTORICAL NOTES
This wine is the embodiment of our territory, historically known as the “Ager Caecubum,” a land naturally suited for viticulture. Its wine was described by ancient Latin poets as the finest in Ancient Rome.

GRAPE VARIETY AND PRODUCTION AREA
100% Serpe. We select the finest clusters, sourcing the grapes from the parcels of Itri. The soils here are composed of red earth, clayey limestone, low in organic matter, and rich in minerals.

VINEYARD CULTIVATION AND WINEMAKING
Guyot training system; planting density is 4000 vines/ha, with a yield of 70 q/ha. Winemaking involves cold pre-maceration of the grape skins, followed by alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. This process includes numerous punch-downs,
followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in tonneaux for approximately 9 months.

HARVEST TIME early October.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
Appearance: intense ruby red in color. Aroma: it boasts a broad bouquet in which spice notes stand out, merging with hints of violet, plum, and incense. On the palate, it evokes the essence of Marasca cherries with subtle nuances of pepper. The tannins exhibit a high level of elegance and balance.

GASTRONOMIC PAIRINGS
Pairs wonderfully with game meats, red meats, braised dishes, and stews.
