WINEMAKING
Bellovedere is produced only in years when the weather is excellent and the wine has reached full maturity. Harvesting takes place at the end of October, once the phenolic maturity and the balance between sugars and acidity have been reached. Selection of the grapes, maceration and fermentation for about 30 days in open conical Slavonian oak vats. Malolactic conversion and subsequent ageing partly in barriques, partly in tonneaux, partly in cement and partly in the same fermentation vats for about 18 months. Blending and bottling, during the most propitious lunar phase, without filtration, one year before release.

IMPRESSIONS
Dark ruby colour with shades of purple ink. The bouquet highlights aromas and flavours of dark plum, blackberry nectar and aromatic herbs, enriched by notes of coffee and cocoa. Its majestic character explodes in the mouth, it is both dense but fresh, characterised by noble and powerful tannins, and a hint of violet perfume. The finish is long and clean with an endowment of minerality which enhances its characteristics of vivacity, power and cleanliness.

PAIRINGS
Complex red-meat dishes such as stews, braised and overcooked meats, game birds and feathered game, mature cheeses.
