After several years of experience in the production of Syrah, the Famiglia Cottarella winery has decided to make this “Ogrà” starting from the vineyards considered the most suitable, namely those located in the municipality of Castiglione in Teverina. The particular stock and composition of the soil have made it possible to obtain very ripe and phenolic-rich grapes.

The grapes are harvested manually and brought to the cellar in plastic crates. Subsequently, the manual selection of the healthiest and ripest berries takes place. After pressing, they undergo a first phase of cold maceration. Subsequently the temperature is raised and maceration continues which continues for 3 days beyond the end of the alcoholic fermentation. At this point the wine is placed in French oak barrels where it ages for 18 months.
