Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The organically farmed fruit comes from two areas in Maremma Toscana. The vineyards at Baccinello lie at 350 m above sea level on alluvial soils composed mainly of clay and limestone, with abundant large pebbles. The Alberese plots are at sea level on sandy clay soils.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates. Traditional red-wine fermentation lasts about two weeks, with extended contact between the juice and skins.
Ageing
The wine matures for around 14 months in French oak barrels, followed by a further year in bottle. Robert Parker recommended drinking the 2016 vintage between 2019 and 2025.
