About this wine

Vinification

Made using the traditional Tuscan governo method. After the first fermentation, dried, partially withered grapes are added to the must.

Tasting profile

Strong in character, with an intense aroma and a rich yet gentle palate.

Label / history

The Duca di Saragnano brand takes its name from Duke di Saragnano, a warrior who fought the Saracens for the freedom of Southern Italy. Luigi Barbanera, an ancestor of the Barbanera family, was a close friend of the Duke.

The wine received gold medals at the Berliner Wein Trophy in 2016 and 2017, a bronze medal at the 2017 International Wine & Spirit Competition, and a bronze medal at Decanter in 2016.
