About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from 45-year-old vines.

Grapes

Eight selected Sangiovese clones are used.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with natural yeasts in oak vats. Sulfur use is minimal, and the wine is bottled without filtration.

Ageing

The wine ages for 48 months in two stages: first in barrels, then in bottle.

Tasting profile

Powerfully structured, with balanced acidity and a long finish.
