About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in Umbria. Yields are limited to 80 quintals per hectare, with a planting density of 6,500 vines per unit of area.

Grapes

The blend comprises 80% Sangiovese and 20% Montepulciano.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand in mid-September. The two varieties are picked and vinified separately. After a brief maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for one year in the same stainless-steel tanks, followed by two months in bottle.

Label / history

Production of the 2014 vintage totalled 30,000 bottles.
