About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Suvereto in the province of Livorno, Tuscany, at 100 m above sea level. The soils consist of clay, sand and silt. Planting density is 6,000 vines per hectare, with spur-pruned cordon training.
Grapes
Aleatico.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested late and left to dry naturally on the vines. The resulting must undergoes alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The wine matures for 6 months in stainless steel, followed by at least 3 months in bottle before release.
Tasting profile

Serving and pairing
Suitable for dry pastries in general and especially dark chocolate, whether served on its own or used in desserts.
