Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards cover 4 hectares in Larciano, north of Florence. Their soil and climate give the grapes strong aromatic potential. Older vines are cordon-trained and short-pruned, while newer plots are trained using the Guyot system to control growth and fruit production.

Grapes

The blend comprises 75% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 10% Canaiolo.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in late September, with careful selection of the best bunches. Fermentation and maceration take place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to retain freshness and bright aromas. Malolactic fermentation is completed in October, immediately after alcoholic fermentation, softening and balancing the wine.

Ageing

The wine rests in bottle for at least four months, during which its flavours become rounder and more harmonious.

Tasting profile

Elegant and well balanced, with bright aromas, freshness and a soft, rounded, harmonious character.
