About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The wine originates at San Giuseppe in Montalcino. Nine vineyards extend across 7 hectares and encompass 12 soil types, including galestro, calcite, clay, sand, iron and quartz. Each vineyard is understood as a small cru with a personality that evolves from year to year.
Grapes
100% Sangiovese.
Vinification
Every vineyard is harvested separately by hand into small crates and individually vinified. Once destemmed, the grapes descend by gravity into 30-quintal wooden vats. Nothing is added before, during or after the bunches arrive apart from minimal doses of sulphur dioxide. Cellar work follows the character of the individual vineyard and vintage rather than a standardized protocol.
Ageing
Aged for 45 months in wood and at least 20 months in bottle. The ageing cellar is 14 metres underground, where temperature remains naturally constant. Small barrels constructed from thick wood are preferred.
Technical data
Production comprised 11,747 bottles of 750 ml, 1,204 magnums of 1.5 L and 77 bottles of 3 L.
