This wine is dedicated to the Roman god JANUS, who watches over every beginning and every end with his two faces. In the same way, with great care in the vineyards and dilligence in the cellar, this wine emanates elegance, power and pleasantness from begnning to end. The grapes, which are produced in some of the best soils in our estate, and the careful selection of berries, make this wine one of the highest quality representatives of ÔMINA ROMANA.

How It Was Made:

The different varieties are manually harvested at their organoleptic maturity and vinified separately. The harvest is performed manually, with the selection and destemming of grapes and then a further selection of berries. The selected berries undergo a 48 hour cold soak. The fermentation takes place partly in steel tanks and partly in tapered wood vats at a controlled temperature, followed by a 10–15 day maceration on the skins. The malolactic fermentation, which is performed in oak barrels, is followed by an 18–22 month ageing in new French oak barriques, with lees stirring. After the assemblage of individual varieties, it is aged in its bottle for at least another 18 months.
