About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the estate’s vineyards in Tuscany, where the vines are farmed organically.

Grapes

The blend includes a small proportion of Colorino.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed without crushing. Fermentation occurs naturally with native yeasts and without temperature control.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barrels for 18 months, followed by 12 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.
