Tili Il Rosso

Technique: Carbonic maceration in rotary fermentation tank followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. Palmet, or fan pruning, with spring cluster thinning and organic farming methods without the use of pesticides and herbicides. IL ROSSO was born to create a wine that represents the two major grapes of Umbria, namely Sangiovese and Sagrantino with all their characteristics but at the same time with great drinkability. After a careful maceration on the skins and fermentation in cement barrels comes  ageing for two years in French oak barriques.  Finally the wine is aged in the bottle and then comes out with great structure, both on the palate and in scent.  The Sangiovese balances the tannins of the Sagrantino.
