ARNAIO
The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Wild yeast fermentation and subsequent maceration last 2 to 3 weeks. Between 0 and 30% whole clusters (non-destemmed grapes) are used, the percentage changing according to the vineyard and the ripeness of the stems. At the end of fermentation/maceration each ferment is pressed out before being racked into tanks – with minimal barriques time – and aged for up to 10 months
Clear, quite polished predominantly red berry nose with nutty hints and a hint of rosemary. Tart fruit, again with ethereal and slightly resinous herbal notes reminiscent of rosemary, nutty tones on the palate, fine sandy tannin and some bite, noticeable alcohol, some persistence, good to very good finish.
