Chakra Rosso
IGT Valle d'Itria
The uniqueness of the Chakra Rosso lies in the innovative technique used for winemaking, called "vendanges entières", used for centuries in the most prestigious domains of the Côte d'Or in Burgundy.
The carefully selected bunches are used whole in open vats: in this way the elegance of the wine is enhanced, streamlining the body and enriching the bouquet..
