At sight, the wine is full-bodied and intense in color. On the nose, spicy and ripe fruit aromas emerge. On the palate, it offers a beautiful persistence and elegance, with round and fine tannins that contribute to its complex and harmonious structure.  

The grapes come partly from the hillside vineyards of the cru "Girlan" at an altitude ranging from 450 to 500 m above sea level in well aired vineyards. The area in which they are grown is rich in minerals, the result of ice age sedimentation. And partly from vineyards located in the Bassa Atesina, with its sandy, warm and deep soils. These components are the basis for this wine.

Cantina Girlan was founded in 1923 in an ancient farmstead from the 16th century. Back then 24 winegrowers laid the foundation stones of what was later to become the winery we see today. The walls, steeped in ancient tradition, and the labyrinthine corridors of the cellar harbour the secrets of state-of-the-art winemaking technology and hold the ideal conditions for ageing our wines.

Pairing Suggestions: The perfect accompaniment for red meats, game and spicy cheeses.

Maturation: Malolatic fermentation and aging for 18 months partly in big wooden barrels, partly in barrique and 6 months in the bottle.
