About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie just south of Tuscany and receive full sun.

Grapes

Sangiovese forms the majority of the blend, with small proportions of Merlot and Colorino.

Vinification

Harvest takes place from late September to early October according to the ripening time of each variety. A small portion of the grapes remains on the vines for longer and is partially dried. After primary fermentation, these grapes are gently pressed and added to the freshly fermented wine, initiating a second fermentation that usually lasts 2–3 weeks. This ancient Governo all'Uso technique adds depth to the wine’s flavour and aroma.

Label / history

“Impazzimento” literally means “to go crazy.”
