Savuto Classico
Savuto Classico comes from the local grapes Magliocco 80% (Arvino) and Greco Nero 20% . Deep ruby red. Intense and lasting with hints of black cherry, black currant and berries. Notes of wild violet, spices and balsamic complete the aromatic picture of a wide complexity. Dry and smooth with a fruity full end. Supported by good acidity and by austere quality of tannins that evolve over time to a complex intense and consistent balance.
After a long fermentation, it is left to ageing in French oak made from fine-grained, medium roasted, second and third step for the first 6-8 months. The rest of the maturation process is split between steel and bottle always keeping a controlled temperature to conserve the natural taste of products.
Savuto Classico is the ideal accompaniment of roasts, grilled meats, spicy and seasoned cheese
