Cinque Autoctoni Edizione 19 Fantini Farnese

The Cinque Autoctoni by Fantini Farnese is born in vineyards located in the Abruzzo municipalities of Notaresco and Ortona and in the Apulian municipalities of Sava and Manduria.

It is obtained from a skilful blend of Montepulciano, Primitivo, Sangiovese, Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes, native of Abruzzo and Puglia, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place, with maceration in contact with the skins, in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 25 days. After malolactic fermentation in barrique, the wine is aged for 13 months in the same containers, before being bottled.

It has a dark and bright ruby red color. The nose opens with intense hints of blackberry and cherry, enriched with notes of aromatic herbs, cinnamon, cloves and licorice, on a mineral background. On the palate it is structured and in perfect balance between the sensations of heat given by the alcoholic component and freshness, with soft tannins that accompany towards a pleasantly persistent finish.

Perfect to accompany robust sauces and red meats, it is ideal in combination with game and aged cheeses. Also excellent as a meditation wine.
