The concept behind the wine
Fuoco was born from the desire to capture a primordial element and translate it into a liquid experience.
Fire is energy, transformation, instinct: it fascinates, warms, but demands respect.
To express it, we chose 100% Corvina, a grape capable of depth and tension, interpreted through an ancient gesture reimagined with a contemporary sensibility.
The smoking of the grapes is not an effect, but a language. It does not dominate or overpower, but integrates as a subtle vibration running through the wine.
Fuoco is a wine that does not reveal itself immediately: it unfolds slowly, asking for attention, and rewarding with depth and emotion.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.
On the nose, it opens slowly with spirit-soaked cherry, plum and blackberry, enriched by sweet spices, cocoa and an elegant incense note, never overpowering.
Warm and enveloping, with well-integrated alcohol, it develops gradually, revealing depth and complexity with a long-lasting finish.
Winemaking technique
Corvina grapes are harvested and left to dry.
The crates of dried grapes are arranged in a radial pattern around a used barrique, which is burned until only embers remain.
The crates are then covered with a sheet for about 72 hours, allowing the smoke to gently permeate the grapes.
After pressing and fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in barrique, followed by a long bottle aging of approximately 5 years.
