About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Cancello vineyard, at 380 metres above sea level, where the vines grow on poor marl soils.

Grapes

Sangiovese is supplemented by small amounts of Merlot and Colorino.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early October and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats.

Ageing

The wine matures for 30 months in French oak barriques, followed by at least three months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
