Making this wine requires the long fermentation of Montepulciano and San Giovese grapes, with the subsequent addition of sour cherries.
The sour cherry is a small, round cherry, dark in colour with a sour taste. The cherries are placed in glass containers with sugar, and are exposed to sunlight during the hot weeks from the end of June to July; the fermentation of the cherries yields a syrup. Sour cherries have always been a part of our tradition, they were used to make a thirst quenching drink, as well as wine.
The wine has an intense ruby red colour and a full winey flavour. Sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste and aromatic, it goes well with any dessert.
In our town, it is served with "cantucci" cookies.
