Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The production area is Greve in Chianti, Tuscany. Vineyards occupy steep slopes in the hilly heart of Chianti. Sandy soils, cool nights and a long growing season encourage aromatic finesse and elegance.
Grapes
90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vinification
The grapes are delicately crushed. The must remains on the skins for one to two weeks to extract colour and polyphenolic compounds.
Ageing
Nine months in a combination of small and large barrels.
Tasting profile
Deep ruby red. Aromas of ripe cherries and red plums are layered with subtle toasted-vanilla and violet notes. The palate is firmly structured, with bright acidity and a pleasantly savoury finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 18°C. Pair with rich creamy pasta dishes, stuffed roasted game hens, barbecued chorizo or other sausages.
