About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from hillside estates in the heart of Tuscany: Lodola Nuova in Montepulciano and La Solatìa in Monteriggioni.

Vinification

Harvest traditionally runs from mid-September to mid-October, with each variety vinified separately. In 2011, alcoholic fermentation lasted 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats at an average of 25 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine remained in stainless-steel tanks until bottling.

Tasting profile

Aromatic and well-rounded, with an easy-drinking character.
