Serving Temperature, Aging Potential & Wine Making Process

• Serving Temperature: For the best experience, serve Vipra Umbria Rosso at 12-14°C (55-60°F) to highlight its balanced fruit and spice notes. Depending on the specific vintage, which is standard for a medium-bodied red wine.
• Aging Potential: While this wine is meant to be enjoyed young, select vintages with oak aging can develop deeper complexity over 3-5 years.  As it ages, the wine can develop deeper, more complex flavors, with smoother tannins and more pronounced secondary notes like leather, tobacco, and dried fruit.
• Winemaking Process: Vipra Umbria Rosso undergoes fermentation in stainless steel or concrete tanks to preserve the fresh fruit character of the wine. Depending on the producer’s style, it may be aged in oak barrels (such as French or Slavonian oak) for a period of time to enhance the complexity, adding notes of vanilla, toast, and subtle woodiness to the wine.
