Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese is organically grown at 400 m above sea level, on south-facing slopes with loose, marl-rich soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at ideal ripeness and fermented with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for at least 3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels.

Ageing

The wine ages for 10 months in tonneaux, then 4 months in cement tanks.

Vintage notes

2019 was a very favourable year in Tuscany. The summer was warm and dry, with enough rainfall thanks to rain in July and August. September temperatures stayed around the seasonal average. October brought little rainfall in total, though it rained often. The 2019 wines are of high quality and very interesting, with deep colour, excellent aromas, concentration and a refined texture.

Label / history

Around 20,000 bottles are produced each year.
