Fruscìo
Fruscìo is the pure sound of the mountain: a fresh, elegant, authentic red.
Altitude, Measure, Precision
Three elements define Fruscìo: a vertical red born at altitude, where the freshness of the air supports its balance.
Lake and mountain winds ventilate the vineyards, preserving tension and aromatic clarity. Clay and rocky soils lend structure and minerality, completing a wine that is essential, fresh, and deeply rooted in its territory.
Sensory Profile
Intense ruby in the glass, it reveals vegetal and spicy notes, mountain herbs and undergrowth, with hints of leather that emerge with aeration.
The palate is taut and elegant, with moderate alcohol, soft tannins, and a long, fresh, profound finish.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
Vinification and Aging
The red grape varieties are hand-selected and sent to vinification after an overnight cooling.
The clusters are destemmed while preserving the integrity of the berries; alcoholic fermentation begins after approximately one day, at a controlled temperature of 16–18 °C.
After approximately two weeks of skin contact, the wine is racked off and undergoes a first transfer into stainless steel to separate it from the lees. A second racking follows; while in contact with the fine lees, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation at 18–20 °C.
At the end of fermentation, the wine is aged for one year in used barriques, with bâtonnage carried out up to three times a week.
After bottling, Fruscìo rests for a further twelve months in the bottle before release.
