About this wine

Vinification

The grapes undergo extended skin maceration. Fermentation uses specially selected yeasts, and the wine then completes malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine ages in 300-litre barrels for 14–18 months. After bottling it rests a further 6 months before release.

Tasting profile

Pleasant, with the intense, rounded flavour and expressive aroma the text attributes to Sangiovese.

Label / history

The label shows an Etruscan warrior, which explains the wine's name. The Etruscans were an ancient civilisation living in what is now Tuscany during the first millennium BCE.
