Intense, bright and lively ruby red in colour. Immediately very intense, with fruity notes of plum jam and red fruits that blend pleasantly with hints of white pepper, sage and tobacco leaf. A persistent aftertaste of coffee and liquorice comes as a result of
the maturation. On the palate, it is quite bold with great personality and good body, being expansive and persistent, which confirms the olfactory sensations in its finish.

Marls and sandstones of Eocene origin, called “ponca” in Italian, stratified under the seas over millennia and today give our wines a unique flavour and minerality typical of Collio.

Isidoro Polencic is a family business, now run by three siblings – Alex, Elisabetta and Michele – who carry on the work started by their parents Isidoro and Anna but before that, by their grandfather, also named Isidoro.    

Our family has long been here in Plessiva, in the heart of the Collio wine region. We have always traced the contours of the rows as we grow the vines with methodic and careful tenacity.

Pairing Suggestions: Red meat in general, game and venison.

Maturation: After racking, there follows a long period of maturation and refinement where malolactic fermentation takes place and during which the often significant and lush tannins are pleasantly softened. After bottling, the wine rests for further ageing in the bottle before release.
