About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Teruzzi’s vineyards in San Gimignano, in the heart of Tuscany, at approximately 350 m above sea level. The soils consist mainly of yellow sandstone and clay. The continental climate is influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines are 15 years old on average.

Grapes

The grapes are selected before vinification.

Vinification

The grapes are generally harvested in mid-September at optimal ripeness. They undergo overnight cold maceration and are gently pressed on the following day. After low-temperature settling, the must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 °C.

Ageing

The wine remains on its lees in steel tanks for 4–5 months, followed by 3–4 months of rest in bottle.

Tasting profile

Bright and lively.
