Vineyard and terroir
The selected fruit comes from the “Colonia” vineyard at the top of Poggio a Rancia.
Grapes
The wine is made from a selection of Sangiovese grapes.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled 28–30 °C. Maceration lasts 16–20 days in stainless-steel tanks, with regular pump-overs.
Ageing
In April or May following the harvest, the wine is transferred to new French oak barrels for 30 months. It then rests for a further 8–12 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.
