Rosso Conero Riserva DOCG - Grosso Agontano - Garofoli

A red wine from Rosso Conero DOCG, made by Garofoli. Careful grape selection and limited yields give it notable structure. The grapes are destemmed and crushed, fermented with 12-15 days of skin maceration, then undergo malolactic fermentation. It matures for 12-18 months in barriques, followed by over 24 months in bottle. The result is an intense ruby red tending to garnet, with aromas of ripe fruit, especially marasca cherry, and delicate spice. On the palate it is soft, warm and rich in noble tannins, with notable persistence. It pairs well with grilled meats, game and aged cheeses.
