Dominius is a red wine produced using Zweigelt, a red grape grown extensively in Austria. This noble variety comes frome the Valle Isarco area in South Tyrol, that is especially suited for its cultivation. The wine was fermented in stainless steel vats and then aged for 12 months in barriques. After the bottling the wine is left to age in the bottle. Its garnet-red colour, its highly fruity scent with hints of wild berries and the elegant note of wood make it truly enjoyable. Its full and very expressive flavour is the result of the perfect ripening of the grapes on the steep and sunny mountain slopes of the Valle Isarco.
