About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Merlot and Sangiovese grow in southwest-facing vineyards in Lazio at 300 m above sea level.

Vinification

The two varieties are vinified separately. The must ferments for 12 days at a controlled 25–27 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wines are then blended.

Ageing

The blend matures for 12 months in new oak barrels and a further six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Rich, with firm tannins.
