Comte Abbatucci's redCuvée Faustine is a blend of Sciaccarello and Niellucciu. Winemaking is carried out in truncated-conical vats, for structure and finesse. Maceration is relatively long to bring out aromatic complexity and structure. Like the white and rosé wines from the same cuvée, Faustine is aged for 6 months on fine lees .
