About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the estate’s vineyards.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are carefully selected. Merlot and Sangiovese are fermented separately for 25–30 days at controlled temperatures in stainless-steel tanks and cement vats, followed by maceration in wooden barrels and malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The Merlot matures for 18 months in oak barrels, mostly second-use, while the Sangiovese rests in large casks and 5 hl barrels. After blending, the wine ages for a further 12 months in bottle in the estate’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Elegant, expressive and well balanced.
