TAI ROSSO
Tai Rosso is an indigenous Berici hills grape variety, historically known as Tocai Rosso and worldwide as Grenache. This is our classic Tai rosso which has always been known in our hills, that we still cultivate in a old vineyard. Marked are its most distinctive scents such as cherry and raspberry, rose and spicy black pepper. It’s ideal in combination with multiple preparations such as risotto with truffles, roasted chicken or our Vicenza-style cod.

THE VINIFICATION
We pick the grapes by hand in the end of September, in a old vines vineyard. When the grapes arrive in the cellar, after the crushing, the must with all the skins slowly starts a natural fermentation by controlled temperature for about 10 days. The pressing allows to obtein wine and pomace. We keep the wine in a steinless steel tank for about six months before bottling. The pomace are used in the distillery to obtein Grappa.
