The Marangole vineyard is located at some 400 meters above sea level and enjoys south/south-east exposure. 20% of the wine ferments in ancient amphorae, where it macerates on the skins for about 4 months and then ages for a further 8 months. The remaining wine is aged in French oak tonneau and large Slavonian oak barrels for about 14 months, followed by a further year and a half in the bottle. Marangole offers decisive mineral notes and intense fruit. Lengthy and persistent on the finish. Excellent with flavorful first courses, red meat, meat roasts, game and aged cheeses.
