About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Montepulciano and Sangiovese are grown on a hill in Ascoli Piceno.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of October, carefully sorted and cold-macerated. Vinification follows the classic red-wine method.

Ageing

The wine matures for one year in oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

An elegant blend, combining Montepulciano’s soft fruit character with Sangiovese’s more distinctive earthy and woody notes.
