Ajola, Rosso 2022

Azienda Ajola, run by our friend Jacopo Battista, is 3.5 hectares of old vineyards that he has brought back to life far from additives and industrial farming. His wines are representatives of the wonderful terroir on the heights above Lago di Bolsena and the harmonious relationship with nature. The Rosso is made from Sangiovese grown on clay soils. It undergoes skin maceration for two weeks and elevage for 6 months in old oak barrels. On the nose we smell red fruits and an earthy forest floor. On the palate theres a deep fruitful note with a luscious mouthfeel and a balanced medium body. The Ajola, Rosso 2022 pairs well with roe deer and ceps.
