About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the estate's youngest vineyards in the south-western area of Montalcino. The soils are calcareous and slightly clayey. Selected Sangiovese clones were planted according to the intended wine style and the characteristics of each vineyard micro-zone.

Grapes

Sangiovese.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested meticulously by hand. Pre-fermentation maceration is followed by traditional vinification designed to emphasize the varietal character of Sangiovese.

Ageing

The wine matures for approximately nine months in stainless-steel vats and then ages in bottle for at least three months.

Tasting profile

Bright ruby red in colour, with a fresh, fruity and fragrant profile. The palate is full-bodied and pleasing.
