Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso
This wine shows spicy licorice and aromas of small forests fruits, with light notes of vanilla, chocolate and faded rose. Full and rich bodied, with silky and elegant tannins. The long finish, is intense and persistent, with notes of mature red fruits and tobacco.
Hand harvested at the beginning of November, fermentation takes place in concrete tanks with manual pump-over to improve the extraction of the color and the varietal aromas. Extended maceration then takes place for over 40 days. The wine is aged for 12 months “sur lies” in oak barrels and for the next 6 months in concrete tanks followed by a bottle aging of over 15 months.
