Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes originate in the Sticcianese estate vineyards in the municipality of Campagnatico. The vines are trained to spur-pruned cordon, and harvest takes place in mid-September.
Grapes
90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot.
Vinification
The grapes undergo gentle crushing and destemming, followed by controlled-temperature maceration with daily pump-overs through the end of fermentation.
Ageing
Maturation takes place in stainless-steel tanks and bottle over a stated total period of eight months.
Tasting profile
Deep ruby red with violet nuances. The nose is intense and persistent, vinous and fruity, with small red-fruit notes. The palate is harmonious, balanced, soft, delicate and easy-drinking, without excessive tannin.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 15–18°C. Pair with flavoursome pasta and other rich first courses, beef, pork, game, and mature sheep’s- or cow’s-milk cheeses.
