VINTAGE ROSSO DOC LISON-PRAMAGGIORE “PROBUS” BARRIQUE 2016*

TASTING NOTES: Intense garnet colour, with purple highlights. The scent is broad and complex, intense and lingering with strong fruity hints and pleasant woody nuances. The flavour is persistent, full and velvety. A traditional, complex and refined wine with a modern
flavour.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Important red wine featuring finesse and good structure. Goes well with roast or grilled meat. Ideal for stews, braised meat and venison. Delicious with fillet and excellent with hard cheeses.

VINIFICATION: The grapes are harvested by hand during the first ten days of October. Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes undergo separate red vinification. The must is fermented on the skins for
approximately 12 days at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C. During this time regular racking takes place to extract the optimum colour and tannins from the skins. At the end of the fermentation period the wine is transferred into French oak casks to mature for approximately
12 months, after which the two wines are blended into a mass comprising 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Finally, the wine is aged in bottle until it is released onto the market.
