This aged red wine is based on the same grapes as the unaged Contessa Entellina Pinot Nero. So the main grape is Pinot Nero (85-100%) with permission to use local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-15%).
The wine is a dark ruby red that becomes nearly granite with age. It has a delicate and characteristic aroma, together with a dry and harmonious taste.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, of which a minimum of 6 months must be in oak barrels.
