Villa Ligi

Meticulously hand-harvested from vines averaging 55 years, the grapes undergo a stringent selection process by mid-September. After destemming and crushing, a cold soak maceration of 14 hours at 6°C ensues. Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers for 10-15 days, utilizing indigenous yeasts and regular pumping over. Controlled malolactic fermentation occurs in glass-coated cement vats. The maturation process unfolds over 10-12 months in 25 hl French oak casks, followed by at least 6 months in the bottle.

This results in a wine boasting a ruby red to purple hue. Its expressive nose entices with notes of rose blossoms, wild strawberries, raspberries, and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, a dry and refreshing sensation prevails, accompanied by mild tannins and a round, distinct character.

Serve between 12°C to 18°C to fully appreciate its allure. Traditionally enjoyed with prosciutto, cold meats, white meat dishes, truffles or mushrooms, and fish soups, Villa Ligi Grifoglietto is the epitome of refined culinary delight. Immerse yourself in its captivating essence.
