About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes predominantly from the estate’s youngest vineyards in the Canalicchio Cru, at an average altitude of 300 m. The soils have a marked clay component and are rich in magnesium, iron and manganese. In some years, a small proportion may come from the Montosoli Cru, whose marl soils contribute savoury character and minerality. The vines are trained using spur-pruned cordon and Guyot systems.
Grapes
100% Sangiovese.
Vinification
Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, with gentle pump-overs performed daily. Skin maceration lasts 15–20 days.
Ageing
The wine matures for 12 months in Slavonian oak casks of 50 hl and 25 hl, together with 750 L French oak barrels.
