NOTES BY OUR SOMMELIERS

👁 a compact ruby red colour with slight garnet hues;

👃🏻 the nose is intense, with pleasant notes of fresh grass and black berry fruits

👄 on the palate it is well-balanced and well-structured, slightly savoury, with still fairly young tannins. Good aromatic persistence, with a light final spiciness.

FOOD PAIRINGS

The Tre Armi is an intense and persistent wine with good tannicity. It prefers succulent and complex dishes, especially those typical of Roman cuisine. Try it with roast turkey or the typical 'trippa alla romana'. Also excellent with fried farmyard food and artichokes.

WINE-MAKING AND REFINEMENT

A blend of cabernet sauvignon and cesanese del piglio. After manual harvesting and careful selection of the bunches, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. A wine that will certainly be loved now and also in the years to come, as it completes its evolutionary process. In any case, it should be uncorked a little in advance and allowed to decant, to enjoy it at its best.

YOU WILL LOVE IT FOR...

its ageing potential.

TERROIR OF ORIGIN

TERROIR

We are in the Castelli Romani area. Viticulture here has very ancient origins: already in Roman times, production was vast and developing, so much so that in the 1st century BC Domitian was forced to limit the introduction of new plantings to prevent the cultivation of wheat from being sidelined. The hills are largely of volcanic origin and the numerous small lakes, craters of volcanoes that are now extinct, are clear evidence of this. The soils are also volcanic with arenaceous, clayey and marly sediments that give the wines a good aromatic bouquet and excellent structure.

WINERY

The company was founded in 2003 in the small town of Genzano di Roma, with a simple and decisive conviction: to bring the quality of a territory into the bottle, without upsetting the rhythms of nature and the vine. Located in the countryside of Velletri, 480 metres above sea level, among the hills of the Castelli Romani, the company aims to promote the native and historical vines of the area, without disdaining the grafting of new vines. Family-run, all the work is done on the farm with passion, sweat and dedication, in an organic agronomic regime, following a green policy in the vineyard and in the cellar. They try to combine tradition and innovation in the best possible way.

Processing and production, from berry to bottle, are followed at 360° with the aim of quality, using technology while respecting the earth. Cultivation, in fact, takes place under a green and organic regime: from agronomic treatments with seaweed extracts in the vineyard to the use of photovoltaics, from special pruning that helps the vines to defend themselves to the choice of the lowest possible impact of bottles and packaging. The company works the land with great care: the grubber, which penetrates deeply, moves the earth and cuts the superficial roots of the vines, while the spade loosens and softens the soil. A small plough is then passed between the vines twice a year to remove weeds and tamp down the earth around the plant to give it protection from heat peaks. Just as much care is taken during the harvest and in the cellar, to create the eight labels. Delicate but rich wines, recognisable and never aggressive. The quest for quality is truly the guiding star of everything they do.
