Assajè - Made from Carignano grapes vinified in stainless steel vats
The wine is a deep ruby red in colour with clear purple hues.
The aromas are intense, persistent, refined and wide-ranging, with a long, enjoyable finish. The bouquet includes red berry fruit, must and dried roses, myrtle and eucalyptus, and lastly, spicy hints.
On the palate it is smooth and pleasantly tangy and spicy, with sweet, firm, yet soluble pulp. The aromas are full and strongly fruity: blackcurrants, ripe cherries, and brambles mingle pleasantly, and give way in the finish to a sweet almondy flavour, like morello cherry flesh.
Assajé has old-fashioned elegance, and the Carignano grape variety (used 100% in this wine) displays all its typical features in the best possible expression. The voice of the terroir emerges loud and clear, with the typical fragrance and aromas of Mediterranean scrubland, while the sweet velvety substance of the wine covers a characteristically strong body.
