About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit grows on a plot in Santa Cristina a Mezzana.

Grapes

Sangiovese with a small proportion of Cabernet Franc.

Vinification

Ageing

The wine matures for 10 months in small French oak barrels, followed by a further 6 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Elegant.
