Red
Reds and rosés are crafted from this grape variety, with the reds distinguished by their elevated levels of anthocyanin and robust structure.
Originally hailing from the Massa Carrara territory, this rare grape is cultivated on a limited scale, occupying no more than 50 hectares.
Notably, it struggles to adapt to varying environmental conditions, thriving primarily in the unique terroir of the Colli di Luni hills.

This wine presents an intense darkness, accompanied by rich aromas of ripe dark berries and black plums. It carries a savory, delicately herbal essence, with hints of small blackberry nuances adding complexity, often balanced by a decent level of acidity.
However, its thin skin can sometimes lead to undesirable reductive aromas, detracting from its overall appeal.
