About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from the estate’s youngest vines, cultivated at 280–320 m above sea level within the Val d’Orcia UNESCO World Heritage Site in the municipality of Montalcino. The vines are trained to low spurred cordon.
Grapes
100% Sangiovese Grosso. The wine was conceived as a fruit-focused expression of the variety in the Tuscan tradition.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested during the last week of September.
Ageing
Maturation in large Slavonian oak barrels softens the wine’s texture while preserving and enhancing the fruity and floral character associated with its place of origin. The wine is intended to continue developing in bottle.
