Description

Vineyard yield:
2.5 tons per acre.

Fermentation:
Aided by racking and punch-downs, fermentation took place in thermo-controlled stainless-steel vats at an average temperature of 82°F for 10 days. Post-fermentation maceration on the skins continued for an additional 10 days. The wine was transferred to concrete vats for malolactic fermentation.

Aging:
The wine was aged for a total of about 36 months. For the first 12 months, the wine aged in concrete vats, followed by 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks (about 900 to 2,000 gallons), and then 12 final months in 4-plus-year-old barrels.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Ruby red with garnet hues.

NOSE:
The bouquet offers notes of violet, cherry and plum. Powerful aromas of cherry, plum, and violet open the bouquet, then soften into notes of eucalyptus and chocolate, with spicy hints of black pepper.

TASTE:
Full-bodied, with very powerful fruity notes. Elegant tannins are perfectly balanced by good acidity. The finish is particularly long.

Food Pairing

Riserva Ducale Oro pairs exquisitely with traditional Italian dishes such as pasta Bolognese, wild boar ragù, and eggplant Parmesan. It's also wonderful with classic American dishes such as grilled ribeye and roasted vegetables.
