About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the estate’s vineyards in Tuscany. Syrah is dried on the vine before harvest.

Vinification

Sangiovese is harvested at optimal ripeness, while Syrah is picked when overripe after drying on the vine. The grapes are pressed, and the two varieties undergo separate fermentations in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Elegant, rounded and well balanced.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with red meat, game, pasta and mature cheeses.
