About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are no more than 10 years old and grow at 250–500 m above sea level. The vineyards have varied exposures and stony soils composed mainly of marl.

Grapes

The wine is made from Brunello, also identified as Sangiovese Grosso.

Vinification

Fermentation follows the white-wine method.

Ageing

The wine rests in stainless-steel tanks for 18 months.

Vintage notes

The 2010 harvest produced healthy, ripe and deeply coloured grapes with thick skins and high levels of sugar and acidity.
