About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on sunny Tuscan slopes. Bright, sunny days and shifts between daytime and nighttime temperatures help the grapes keep lively acidity, which shapes the balance between acidity and fruit.

Grapes

Selected Sangiovese grapes. After harvest they are divided into two groups: one is gently pressed to give pale juice, the other macerates for several hours to draw more aroma from the skins.

Vinification

The juice is cooled to 10 °C for natural clarification. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature, no higher than 15 °C, to preserve clean, fresh aromas.

Ageing

The wine ages in the same stainless steel tanks at 10 °C, to retain its full range of aromatic nuances.

Tasting profile

Fresh and vibrant, with light fruitiness and crisp freshness. Lively acidity gives a refreshing character and a clean finish. The short skin maceration gives a rich aromatic profile and good structure.

Serving and pairing

Best in spring and summer.
