About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese grows on stony, limestone-rich soils in the Chianti region.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks in accordance with Chianti production regulations, preserving a fresh and youthful character.

Tasting profile

Good acidity and firm tannins give the wine a vibrant, fairly robust structure.

Serving and pairing

Pair with roasted or grilled meats, game, veal, beef or cheese.

Vintage notes

In Tuscany, 2019 was a productive vintage. Spring was rainy and cooler than usual, delaying flowering slightly until warmer weather arrived in June. Summer temperatures remained within the normal range, with pronounced differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures. The resulting wines showed deep colour, excellent aromas, concentration and a refined texture.
