Meet the Producer

Produced by Casa Vinicola Botter, a family-owned company founded in 1928 in Veneto, the estate now sources grapes from some of Italy’s top wine regions. Botter is certified sustainable and integrates environmentally responsible practices across viticulture and winemaking.

Production

Grapes are hand-selected from hillside vineyards in Abruzzo, benefiting from warm continental climates tempered by the Apennines. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months, at least 9 of which are in wooden casks, to enhance complexity, add gentle spice, and integrate tannins, before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Intense purple in colour, the nose reveals aromas of blackberries, cherries, and subtle herbaceous notes. The palate is round and rich, with ripe berry fruit, black cherry, hints of liquorice, and a distinctive spicy character. Firm yet supple tannins support a long, juicy finish. Food match Pairs beautifully with pasta with tomato sauces, roasts, grilled meats, spicy salami, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C.
