About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese grows in a wooded area on clay soils at approximately 400 m above sea level. The vines average 18–22 years old and are planted at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at full phenolic ripeness, usually in October. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in concrete tanks without temperature control. The wine is bottled without filtration.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barrels for 3–6 months, followed by a further 3–6 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Tasting profile

Soft berry flavours are accompanied by velvety tannins and lively acidity.

Label / history

Annual production is 3,000 bottles.
