Sorpasso is a red wine made from carefully selected grapes of Cabernet Franc(47%), Cabernet Sauvignon(47%) and Merlot (6%), from the most favored parcels of our vineyard. When the grapes reach optimal maturity, they are picked by hand and subjected to fermentation and slow maceration.
After the racking off the wine is aged in small French oak barrels for about 14/16 months (50%new, 35% second use, 15% third use). This is followed by bottle aging for at least 12 months to enhance its quality and its structure.
Sorpasso is a wine that has an intense aroma of red fruit, aromatic herbs and spicy notes. It is rich on the palate, with enveloping and elegant tannins and a good balance of taste and aroma.
Food pairings: ideal for pasta dishes with meat, red meat plates, game, braised beef and stew.
