About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards are at a favourable altitude, with well-drained soils and a south-west exposure.

Grapes

The Sangiovese grapes are carefully selected.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand during the first week of October. Fermentation lasts 12 days in stainless-steel vats.

Ageing

The wine ages for four years in French barriques and Slavonian oak casks, followed by approximately four months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Elegant and well balanced, with a clearly defined structure.
