About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese is grown in Emilia-Romagna, where the vineyards experience a Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of September, then sorted and destemmed. They undergo maceration for 7–8 days to extract colour and tannin. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25–27 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in wooden barrels, followed by several months in bottle before release.
