About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards on the slopes of and around Montosoli hill.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for at least 24 months in large Slavonian oak casks.

Tasting profile

Slow to open, it combines power with finesse. The nose is heady, while the palate is taut, structured, harmonious and complex, with velvety tannins. Fresh acidity balances its depth, and the wine retains impressive energy.
