About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Bolgheri, along the Tyrrhenian coast, on sandy loam soil.

Vinification

In 2021, the grapes were harvested fully ripe in September and carefully selected in the vineyard. The pressed must underwent static settling at 10 °C, followed by fermentation with selected yeasts at 18–20 °C.

Ageing

The wine aged for five months in stainless steel tanks.

Label / history

The wine takes its name from the blond Marquis Obizzo d’Este, who appears in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy.
