Dried fruit aromatics with hints of herbs. A rich palate that lends to notes of earth, leather and tobacco as it decants. Richness from the oak, paired with the subtle tannins and acid produces a nice long finish. A well structured wine worth sipping.

Winery Info
CASCINA SAN MICHELE
Our vineyards are maintained in accordance with a strictly organic approach, without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and other products that might modify the normal plant cycle of the vines. The aim is to avoid interfering excessively with the development of the vines, but rather enable them to express themselves in the best possible way in every single year's production and to maintain a healthy yield. When making our wine we do not add any type of yeast to encourage fermentation and we use no substance that could modify the characteristics of the wine: the sulphur dioxide, at the moment of bottling, is normally below half of the legal limit. Our wines are not filtered.

Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from vines with different facing slopes and different soils. Throughout this stage and according to necessity, the wine is pumped over once or twice each day, then decanted as necessary. The wine however, remains in steel containers until it is bottled and neither fined nor filtered.
