Solinghino

Buttafuoco DOC

Location of the vineyards: Solinga Valley.

Soil: gravel-sand soil.

Vineyards: vineyards facing south on a steep hillside.

Grapes: Croatina, Barbera and Ughetta di Canneto. The percentages of each grape may vary from vintage to vintage.

Vinification: the grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and pumped into stainless-steel tanks where they ferment at a controlled temperature. The skins are left with the fermenting juice for 10-15 days. The wine is then racked and put into stainless-steel vats before being bottled. The bottles are then stored horizontally in the dark of our cellar for some months before release.

Tasting notes: bright ruby red colour with violet highlights. Nose with dog rose and wild fruits notes, and hints of freshly harvested hay. Well-rounded, velvety and harmonious on the palate. Long finish.

Pairing suggestions: very food-friendly wine, it’s great with bold-flavoured pasta or risotto and roasted meat.

Service temperature: best served at 18 °C in a glass with a large bowl.

Available formats: 0,75 l bottle.

Contains sulphites.

Produced in Italy.
