About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the estate’s oldest vineyards, situated between 150 and 450 m above sea level. The vines are trained using cordon spur and doppio capovolto systems.
Grapes
100% Sangiovese, harvested by hand.
Vinification
For the 2021 vintage, submerged-cap fermentation lasted 15–20 days in stainless-steel tanks with indigenous yeasts at a controlled 25–28 °C. Malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel.
Ageing
The wine underwent long maturation in large French-oak casks of 30 and 50 hl, followed by bottle ageing. The final period in bottle is intended to develop greater harmony and complexity.
