vineyard and land

The vineyards are located on our property in Santa Giuletta and are characterized by mainly clayey soil. The average age of the vines is 40 years, and the training system is Guyot.

food pairings

Excellent match to first courses with rich sauces and stuffed pasta, such as agnolotti al ragù. It pairs particularly well with substantial dishes such as bollito misto (mixed boiled meat), stews, veal tail, ossobuco, or roasted game. In perfect harmony with matured or blue cheeses.

organoleptic characteristics

Intense ruby red color. On the nose, it opens to intense aromas of ripe fruits, among which cherry, blackberry and plum prevail, and to a floral note of violet with a delicate spiciness. On the palate, it is structured and complex, with a lingering finish balanced by its crispy acidity.

Winemaking and aging

The cold pre-fermentative maceration is followed by alcoholic fermentation in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks for about two weeks, during which frequent pumping overs and “délèstages” are carried out. A post-fermentation maceration on the skins follows, and after racking, the wine is decanted to barriques, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine ages for about ten months in French oak barriques and, subsequently, about ten months in large barrels. This is followed by further aging in the bottle for about six months before release.

To our grandfather Alfredo, who taught us so much

“Fredo”, as our grandfather Alfredo Currado was affectionately called. This wine is dedicated to him, lucky for the love he has given us and grateful for the passion for the vineyard and for the wine that he has passed on to us, together with our father. A wine from a single vineyard of just over one hectare, planted in 1980 and located on our Santa Giuletta estate.
