About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from southeast-facing vineyards in the Scansano area of Tuscany, at no more than 80 m above sea level. The soils consist mainly of clay and limestone, and the vines are around eight years old on average.

Grapes

Morellino is the local name for Sangiovese.

Vinification

Fermentation and maceration are brief, lasting 15 days.

Ageing

The wine matures for eight months in steel tanks, followed by two months in bottle.
