Aging

Wood.
The wine is unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

An intense purple, ruby red colour with violet hues. An intense red fruit nose (raspberries and cherries) and fine spices. A marked yet sweet acidity in the mouth rendering it round and full with closing notes of toasted hazelnut. Suggested serving temperature: 15-17° C.

Il Giocatore di Volano

The reigning dynasties were made spectacular in tournaments, carousels, masquerades, ballets, musical works, interludes. These representations were also a propitious occasion to exhibit, magnify and revive the glories of the prince and his lineage.

It is a ballet of childish games, where the badminton player represented the mix between the ancient and the modern, between Greek mythology and the impersonation of the stunt doubles of the kingdom. This last time, playing badminton, they will beat it so much in the measure of the dance that their cadences will sound like a bird.
