Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The vines grow in central Tuscany at 280 m a.s.l., on a south-east-facing site with Pliocene sandy soils. They are 27 years old and trained to spur-pruned cordon.
Grapes
50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot.
Vinification
Maceration and fermentation occur together in stainless-steel vessels at controlled temperature for four days. Malolactic fermentation follows.
Ageing
The wine matures for 18 months in new, medium-toast French oak barriques.
Technical data
Annual production ranges from 700 to 8,000 bottles. The available format is 750 ml.
Tasting profile
An impenetrable ruby colour. The bouquet brings together berry jam, china, humus, roasted coffee and a broad range of spices. The palate is sweet-toned and compact, supported by freshness and soft, delicate tannins. Powerful spice and oak notes return on the finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 18°C with baked mutton, mixed grilled game or wild-boar stew.
