Roma DOC... This is enough to attract our attention. If then, as in this case, it is an excellent wine, things become even more interesting. Collezione Oro di Federici, comes from grapes harvested in the municipality of Zagarolo, in the province of Rome, at about 350 metres above sea level. The climate here is typically Mediterranean, with mild winters and moderate rainfall, and warm, breezy summers. The soils are predominantly tufaceous, perfect for planting two grape varieties typical of central Italy, Montepulciano and Cesanese, to which a small percentage of Merlot is added. Vinified at a controlled temperature, maceration and alcoholic fermentation last about 20 days, with frequent punching-down and daily pumping-over. At the end of the transformation, the wine matures in wood for about 6 months, in new 500-litre oak tonneaux, with weekly batonnage. Upon pouring, one discovers a wine characterised by a beautiful bright ruby red colour. The nose is broad, with notes of ripe red fruit that blend well with hints of liquorice and spices. In the mouth, however, it is robust and full-bodied, with well-presented and integrated tannins. Its peculiar acidity, then, well balanced by the fruit and alcohol, makes it particularly long and pleasant. To appreciate it at its best, there is nothing better than a good mix of grilled meats or medium to mature cheeses.
