About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Montepulciano and Sangiovese fruit comes from low-yield vineyards in the Marche region.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested into small crates and carefully selected. The varieties are vinified separately, with gentle pressing and fermentation in small 12 hl wooden vessels.

Ageing

The wine matures in small barrels selected according to its character, complexity and balance, followed by a further period in bottle.

Tasting profile

Powerful in character, with an intense aroma of berries and fruit. The palate is smooth and rounded, leading to a long, rich finish.
