About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the Maremma area.

Grapes

The blend is predominantly Sangiovese, with a small proportion of Merlot.

Vinification

The grapes are selected when fully ripe. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, and the wine is bottled in the spring following the harvest.

Tasting profile

The nose is rich in ripe red-fruit aromas. The palate is deep and fresh, remaining soft over time while retaining its rich fruit character.

Serving and pairing

Pair with white meat, spicy fish soups or salty cheeses.
