In the glass the Stella Rossa shows a bright purple-red. It has a winy bouquet, with scents of red fruits like cherries and marasca cherry, and a very delicate vanilla note. On the palate it is dry, full-bodied, structured, with the acidity typical of this variety. It’s persistent and the tannins are well balanced.

Description
50% of the yield follows a process of cold maceration, which allows to extract more noble components from the fruit. The other 50% of the yield follows the traditional process of vinification: grapes are destalked and soft-pressed and then left on the skins for 10 days.
After that the Stella Rossa is aged for a 50% in Slavonian oak barrels and the other 50% in French oak used barriques for 10 months.
