The finest full-bodied red wines

The production of exceptional wine bottles obtained from exclusive native vines that, in very few cases, manage to grow elsewhere is one of the hallmarks of Italian viticulture. Climate is certainly a fundamental component and, together with terroir, forms an essential foundation for bottles beloved worldwide. To this must be added the long winemaking tradition and thus the producers’ ability to create unique and highly regarded wines.
From north to south, a multitude of vines that yields splendid examples exported across the globe each year: starting from the coldest areas such as Piedmont, passing through Veneto and Lombardy, from Tuscany to Abruzzo, then moving south from Salento to Sicily and finally to Sardinia. An extremely wide variety of full-bodied red wines that reflect the regions of our territory and honour our age-old tradition.

Red wine, by definition, is a wine characterised by structure and softness; at the same time, it contains lower acidity and salinity compared to white grape varieties. What sets it apart and enhances it is the presence of tannin—a natural component present in the skins, stems and seeds.
Structured red wines derive from vines whose skins are capable of releasing large quantities of substances into the must, rich in sugars and with good acidity. In this case, malolactic fermentation plays a fundamental role—a constant process in these types of wines, as the reduction in acidity helps to round out the overall flavour profile of the wine. Maturation in bottle completes and realises the maturation process.
