WINE MAKING PROCESS
Roxanne is a red wine crafted from a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Syrah grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, a process that extracts color and flavor from the skins. The wine is then aged, with indications of time spent in oak barrels, including French and American oak, which contributes to its development and texture. The estate, Tenuta Il Palagio, practices biodynamic viticulture, reflecting a philosophy focused on natural cultivation and environmental harmony.
