- It is a warm, beautifully balanced wine with abundant ripe red fruit, complemented by hints of spice and woodland notes. Elegant with a velvety texture through to a long, satisfying finish. The bunches were manually selected, and the grapes were fermented whole. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of between 26 to 28°C, lasting approximately one week. A gentle pressing took place, and the young wines were blended before maturation took place in French tonneaux for 12 months, followed by further bottle ageing for four months.

Winery | The Bosco della Guardia is a Mediterranean spot in the high hills that separates the best vineyards and is planted in Montepulciano and Aglianico. The vines are grown in the San Martino in the Pensilis subzone of the Biferno Rosso DOC in Molise, Southern Central Italy. Located at altitudes of 150 metres above sea level, the vineyard covers 1.5 hectares of medium-textured, clay-rich soils. The vines were planted in 2003 at a density of 4,200 per hectare and are cordon-trained and spur-pruned. The climate is Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers and mild winters. The vineyard is heavily influenced by its proximity to the Adriatic Sea; the coastal winds breeze through the vines, aerating the canopy, keeping the vines healthy, providing the vineyard with gentle humidity, and cooling the vines throughout the hot, dry summers. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably and is working toward the Equalitas certification. Harvesting takes place in mid-October when the fruit has reached optimal ripeness. |
