Their limestone-rich soils contribute freshness and firm structure. Harvest takes place in mid-October, followed by fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 30 months in partly new barrels and a further 12 months in bottle, developing complexity and the structure to age gracefully for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePair it with roasts, grilled or braised red meat, and mature cheeses.
