WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
After the hand harvest, the grapes are pressed and the fermentation starts; the skins are left in the must for a period to extract and intensify the flavors and the characteristic ruby red color. Afterwards, the wine is staged in oak vats for about 3 or 4 months; this aging gives the pleasant notes of ripe fruits, raisins, spices and vanilla. Gran Passione has an intense purple color, tending towards amber with ageing. It is full-bodied with a solid structure due to the elevated alcohol and fine balance between soft tannins and acidity from rich red and black fruits.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Great wine for roasted and grilled meats. Ideal with game dishes. Excellent with mature hard cheeses.
