About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at an altitude of 300 metres. The vines are 25 years old on average.

Grapes

Sangiovese is blended with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes ferment with selected yeasts in stainless-steel tanks for 14 days at a controlled temperature of 28 °C. Malolactic fermentation follows alcoholic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures for 20 months in French oak casks and barriques, followed by six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

The aroma is deep and elegant. The palate is rich and fruit-forward.
