Amorino Rosso Colline Pescaresi Jarno Trulli
Winery information: Formula One superstar Jarno Trulli says: "I've always sought perfection in everything I do: in a racing car, where split seconds make the difference; and in the vineyard, where it has taken years of hard work to give our wine its special character and originality".
Jarno's estate, Podere Castorani, which was already well known in 1793, is farmed organically, thanks partly to their location at 300 metres, where the wind can maintain the natural health of the vines, some of which are over 25 years old. The new winery is fitted with the most modern technology. Whites are pressed in modern basket presses and includes a
grape drying room, allowing for the production of "Jarno", an Amarone type wine of which the grand prix ace is particularly proud.
Viticulture: Overhead Trellis
Vinification: Fermentation with skins at 30c with frequent pumping -overs and prolonged maceration on skins for over 45 days in temperature controlled vats. Malolactic fermentation took place during maceration on skins. Aged for 12 months in oak tonneaux.
Tasting Note: Ruby red with violet tinges, this wine shows spice, fruits of the forest, liquorice and prunes on the nose through to a well structured palate with earthy tones and a firm, dry finish.
Every day serving suggestion: Serve with red meats, game and mature cheese.
Blend Montepulciano 55%, Syrah 25%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%, Merlot 0%
