Giovin Re confirms year after year its special value. After a short maceration on the skins, the must ferments in used barriques cleaned and polished, where it remains until March before being bottled without fining. It’s ready for consumption after other 6 months and reaches its full expression in the two following years. It shows its best expression when accompanying savory and spicy dishes of strong personality.
