About this wine

Grapes

60% Trebbiano, 30% Malvasia and 10% Sangiovese.

Vinification

The grapes dry slowly for five months to concentrate their sugars. They are then pressed, and the concentrated must rests for 24 hours before being transferred to caratelli.

Ageing

Maturation takes place in traditional small oak caratelli filled to three-quarters of their capacity. The published minimum maturation period differs between materials: five years in the product description and four years in the technical sheet.

Tasting profile

A fragrant and intense dessert wine with a harmonious, velvety flavour.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 14–16°C. Pair with pastries—particularly Tuscan cantuccini—as well as chocolate biscuits and cream cakes.

Vintage notes

The listed vintage is 2016.

Label / history

Its production belongs to the estate’s Tuscan tradition and is presented as a patient, time-intensive craft.
