Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the estate’s youngest vines, cultivated at 280–320 metres above sea level in the Val d’Orcia Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, within the municipality of Montalcino. The vines are trained to a low spurred cordon system, and harvest takes place during the final week of September.

Grapes

100% Sangiovese Grosso. The wine is conceived to emphasize the variety’s fruit character while remaining rooted in Tuscan tradition.

Ageing

Ageing takes place in large Slavonian oak barrels. The large casks soften the wine’s texture while preserving and enhancing the fruity and floral aromas associated with its place of origin. The wine is also intended to develop well in bottle.

Tasting profile

Intense ruby red. The aroma is intense, persistent and fine, with floral and fruity notes; redcurrant, red cherry and violet characterize its fruit-led expression. The palate is dry, warm and soft, with fairly fresh acidity, noticeable but measured tannins and a savory quality. It is balanced, structured and persistent while remaining approachable and easy to drink.
