Ajola, Rosso 2022

Jacopo Battista of Azienda Ajola works to maintain the seventy five year-old vines of his 3.5 hectare estate in Orvieto, which intersects the boundaries of Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany. His wines are beautiful representations of the volcanic terroir, which were laid during the formation of the Apennines, as well as the vineyards harmonious relationship with nature. Rosso 2022 is 100% Sangiovese grown on clay soils. It undergoes skin maceration for two weeks and elevage for 6 months in old oak barrels. A nose of red berries and earthy forest floor with deep fruity flavours and a silky body. Rosso 2022 would pair well with game and ceps.
