Il Forestiero - Collecapretta

The Forestiero di Collecapretta is a powerful and elegant red wine that comes from pure Sagrantino grapes. A handful of bunches that are harvested by hand and spontaneously vinified in open vats with maceration on the skins for 6 days. It refines in fiberglass and is bottled with the waning moon without filtering and adding sulfur. A wine where floral, fruity notes of truffle herbs, cocoa and oriental spices emerge on the nose. On the palate the tannins are very fine. Very elegant wine!

Service

We taste it to a temperature of around 16/18 ° C in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately, but if left a few years in the cellar can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

The Forestiero goes well with tasty main courses of meat, hard cheese, try it with grilled lamb shoulder.
