The base of this wine is the traditional cherries Visciola, an ancient variety of wild cherry (Prunus cerasus) of a dark red color and sour flavor. The historic recipe consists of gathering the cherries in the first week of July and allowing them to macerate whole and partly crushed with sugar, triggering a fermentation process that slowly produces a final syrup, soft and fragrant. The nose is intense and rich, with sensual notes of purple flowers and scents of ripe, pulpy red fruits. The taste is captivating, tangy and fresh with floral notes and a well- defined savour of sweet cherry, blackberry and blueberry jam. An intriguing wine, inviting you to sip more and more, it would be perfect with a bitter chocolate dessert..
