About this wine

Grapes

Equal parts Sangiovese and Merlot.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the first half of September. Maceration lasts 7–8 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25–30 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine ages for two months in French oak barrels.

Tasting profile

The 2009 vintage is fresh and full-flavoured, with a very soft texture.
