Vigna Probi

Volume: 2013/ 2018

Vinification:  Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast. 12 months of aging in concrete and large oak barrels. Minimum 24 months in bottle.

Color/ bouquet/ flavor: "In the nose hints of cherries, raspberry as the dominant note, then blueberries, spices. In the mouth, velvety soft, with hints of pomegranate, orange, plums, violets and in the finish aromatic herbs."

Score and comment: Probi is a wine outside of category in its genre. A wine that, through its elegance and finesse, best identifies the wines of Modigliana. Very aromatic wine, full-bodied, with a very broad flavor palette. Top class! Scores: 3 bicchieri Gambero Rosso: 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015, 2014.

Dish combinations:

• Emilian Lasagna (Lasagna with ragù)
• Tortelloni with ragù, mortadella, and parmesan
• A mix of antipasti (mainly meat) such as prosciutto di parma, culatello
• Raw tuna with pine nut tapenade (daring but delicious as the tapenade also contains a bit of balsamic vinegar)
