This red wine uses the same grape composition as the unaged Erice Rosso, so a combination of the grapes Calabrese and/or Nero d’Avola (60-100%), with permission to use local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-40%).
The color is intense ruby red with orange reflections. The bouquet is complex, ethereal and subtle, while the taste is dry and with moderate tannins.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years beginning November 1 in the harvest year.
Goes perfectly with roast.

Did you know?
Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
