About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards in Montalcino.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are taken to the winery and destemmed. A brief cold maceration on the skins at 16 °C is followed by 12–13 days of fermentation at a controlled temperature of 27–28 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests for six months, partly in stainless-steel tanks and partly in small and medium-sized oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Balanced and elegant.
