Tasting Notes
Ruby red colour, with violet flecks. On the nose, there are notes of morello cherries and caramel. The palate is mouth-filling, with excellent structure, soft tannins and a long finish
History
TWP takes a holistic approach: we develop the production, packaging, marketing and sales of each of our wines. We are in complete control of the entire production process, starting with careful management of the grapes, and meticulous winemaking by our own highly talented winemaker. We build a strategy which gives the best possible support to the product from beginning to end - from the winemaking to packaging to positioning.
Regional Information
The soil is famous for its red colour ("terra rossa" soil) deriving from its iron reachnesse. The topsoil is one meter deep, sitting on limestone over a mixture of the other rocks. The predominant climate is hot and dry which results in characteristically robust and powerful wines.
Current Vintage

Vinification Details
The two grape varieties are vinified separately. The grapes are destemmed, but not crushed. Selected yeasts are added and fermentation takes place at 24-26°C. When fermentation is complete, maceration on the skins is then limited to avoid extraction of bitter tannins, ultimately resulting in a fresh, lively, fruity wine. After the malolactic fermentation is complete, the two wines are blended together.

rough

Mystified by the positive ratings. This is very rough tanniny wine, even hours after opening. The only good cerasuolo weve ever had was in the region where they make it. Probably, like Chianti, it doesnt travel well.

Excellent

Absolutely brilliant, smooth, well balanced mellow flavour. This is one of the wines that does not have an acidic after taste. A brilliant all-round wine.
