About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Sangiovese is selected in the estate vineyards. The grapes are harvested manually to preserve their integrity and transferred rapidly to the winery.

Grapes

Sangiovese.

Vinification

The grapes are pressed very gently to retain their varietal character and control colour extraction. The must is chilled immediately, allowing the solids to separate naturally, before inoculation with selected yeasts. Fermentation proceeds at a controlled 14°C and is completed in 20–25 days. The prise de mousse takes place in a temperature-controlled autoclave.

Ageing

A brief period on the lees in autoclave precedes preparation for bottling.

Tasting profile

Delicate fruit aromas are joined by refined aromatic accents. Lively effervescence and pronounced savouriness define the palate.
