Vinification
A wine resulting from a very careful selection of grapes, harvested in exceptional vintages, such as 2015. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with frequent pump-overs and extended skin maceration.
Aging
At the end of winemaking, the “vino fiore” is aged for at least 50 months in Slavonian oak barrels; five years after the harvest, it is bottled and continues aging in the bottle for an additional 6 months, as required by regulations.

Nose
Broad and rich aroma with hints of vanilla, violet, and notes of Marasca cherry.
