Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from a small Sangiovese plot situated in the coolest and most humid part of Scopone.
Grapes
100% Sangiovese.
Vinification
The bunches are harvested by hand and loaded whole into the press. After gentle pressing, the must settles for 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16–18°C to preserve the aromatic profile.
Ageing
The wine remains on its fine lees for four months before continuing its refinement in bottle.
Technical data
The 2022 vintage has 13% alcohol and total acidity of 6.35 g/L. Its pH is 3.21 in the technical sheet. Production totals 1,300 bottles.
Tasting profile
Intense coral pink. The broad aromatic profile opens with lemon peel and blood orange, followed by ripe peach and Mediterranean herbs, particularly rosemary. The palate is rounded, with good freshness and a distinctly saline finish.
Vintage notes
The 2022 growing season began with plentiful winter rain, which continued through the first part of spring and slightly delayed budbreak. Subsequent temperatures allowed regular vine development. The exceptionally hot, dry summer was interrupted by weather events in late July and mid-August that helped preserve crisp skins, acidity and freshness. Harvest began after the first ten days of September and concluded during the first week of October.
