Zaffiro Natural Red Wine 2024

Vineyard of origin: Garda morainic hills, Castiglione delle Stiviere, Lombardy, Italy.
Soil characteristics: Clayey-calcareous, of morainic origin, very stony, glacial pebbles and minerals.
Vine training system: Guyot training with significant thinning of the clusters and limited yields.
Harvest period: From the first to the second week of October. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in crates at the optimal state of ripeness.
Winemaking: Destemming and gentle pressing of the grapes. Long maceration at a controlled temperature (24–26 °C) with frequent pumping over and breaking up of the cap to deeply extract color, noble tannins, and aroma precursors.
Refinement: Aged for about 12 months in concrete vats, 6 months in chestnut barrels, followed by a long period of bottle aging to achieve perfect harmony.

Appearance: Deep, impenetrable ruby red with slight garnet hues at the rim.
Aroma (Nose): Complex, developed bouquet with intense notes of dark fruit (cassis, ripe blueberry, black cherry), followed by tertiary aromas such as tobacco leaf, cocoa bean, eucalyptus, graphite, and warm wood spices.
Taste (Palate): Dry, full-bodied, and tightly woven. Dense, polished tannin structure, supported by a well-integrated acidity and pronounced alcohol that lends warmth to the wine.
Finish: Very long, multi-layered, and spicy aftertaste.
Pairings: A robust red wine for fine dining. It pairs excellently with hearty red meat, braised dishes, game, stews, grilled platters, and aged or blue cheese.
Serving temperature: 18-20°C (We recommend opening the bottle or decanting it one hour before serving)
