Still red wine from indigenous grapes

Vinibuoni d'Italia - Corone 2022 e 2024 - Perorossino

Perorossino is the purest expression of the very soul of our land. It’s a field blend of indigenous grapes (Croatina, Barbera, Uva Rara, Nibiö and Moradella) harvested in the sunniest and oldest of our vineyards. The yield per hectare is extremely low and the rich and fully concentrated grapes of this 70-years old vineyard are perfect for creating a great, full bodied red wine.

After the harvest, which usually takes place in late September or early October, the must is fermented in stainless-steel tanks. After a 20-day maceration, the wine is aged in big oak barrels for about 1 year. Bottled in summer, it further ages in bottle for a few months.

Each grape gives a peculiar contribution to this wine: Moradella and Nibiö provide notes of red fruits jam and spices, Croatina adds good tannins and Barbera brings a great deal of acidity.

Our Perorossino is the perfect companion for traditional lunch and dinners, where the warmth of the fireplace and the voices of friends and family are as essential as game dishes and stewed meat. Best enjoyed at 18 °C.
