About this wine

Grapes

The Sangiovese is Sangiovese Grosso, carefully selected and tended closely by the winery team throughout the year.

Vinification

The grapes are selected by hand and then gently destemmed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks at 28 °C, with 32 days of skin contact.

Ageing

The wine is aged for 40 months in 1,500-litre Slavonian oak barrels, which add depth and complexity.

Tasting profile

Refined and distinctive, with a full, smooth structure.

Label / history

Patrizia Cencioni founded the winery in 1989, at the age of 20, with only the support of her uncle Ofelio. The wine carries his name as a tribute to him. About 3,000 bottles are produced each year.
