DOP Epeo wine
The Epeo DOP - a ruby red wine, produced from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and aged in steel vats for 9 months after harvesting. The aromas are intense and fairly balanced between Sangiovese and Cabernet; while ripe fruit and some spicy notes prevail in the mouth which together with the softness of the tannins, ensure a good persistent taste.
Don Josè
The fermentation of the destemmed grapes is carried out at a temperature of around 24-26 °. The maceration period of the musts is about 7 days. Don Josè ages in steel vats and, finally, bottled 5 months after the first of November of the year of harvest.
