LUXE Oro Rosso IGT are produced thru maceration that lasts eighteen days in contact with the skins. After malolactic fermentation, which takes place entirely in barriques, the Sangiovese and Merlot are matured separately for a period of twelve months in French oak barriques.
The wines are blended only before being bottled, where they mature for at least six months. A red wine for long ageing, an elegantly complex wine with a solid structure.
It has a deep ruby red colour, the bouquet is very broad, ranging from notes of cassis and plums, violet, tobacco, leather with a slightly spicy balsamic undertone. The tannins are ripe and enveloping and the finish long and persistent.
It goes well with roasted red meat, game, spicy cheeses and chocolate.
