About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the hillside vineyards of Santa Maria and Il Monte, at 150–200 metres above sea level. The soils are composed of sand and clay.

Grapes

Sangiovese is complemented by a small proportion of Merlot.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts in stainless-steel and concrete tanks for 12–14 days.

Tasting profile

Expressive aromas of candied cherry, tobacco and liquorice lead to a dry, well-balanced palate.

Label / history

Annual production is 30,000–40,000 bottles.
