In its area of origin, in Pomerol, but also here in Italy, in Tuscany, in the Bolgheri area, in the Val di Cornia and Cortona or even in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, extraordinary wines have been created that certainly do not deserve the generalisation that has sometimes labelled it as excessively versatile and accommodating, trivialising the incredible finesse and elegance it has shown in some cases.
Sud/sud-est
Late
Medium-late
An early-ripening vine that produces well-structured, attractive wines with a beautiful, bright, impenetrable ruby red colour that slowly fades to garnet with age. Intense and generous, it usually gives us aromas of plum, cherry, blueberry, violet, tomato leaves and humus, as well as herbaceous, spicy and balsamic notes that are often confirmed on the palate.
It requires tighter forms of cultivation and medium-short pruning.
It is therefore suitable for full mechanisation as long as certain environmental conditions are respected, especially in the northernmost parts of the growing area.
Medium to good and fairly constant in both short and medium-long pruning.
Somewhat sensitive to powdery mildew, prone to green millerandage. Good resistance to late frosts.
It gives a wine of intense ruby red colour, with a characteristic, vinous bouquet, dry, fruity, tannic, non-acidic, full-bodied, velvety, rightly alcoholic.
White vinification produces an excellent rosé wine, sapid, fruity and very pleasant.
