About this wine

Grapes

The blend is based on Sangiovese, with Canaiolo and Colorino. Sangiovese provides character and energy, Canaiolo softens the overall impression, and Colorino adds depth of colour and helps create a balanced structure.

Vinification

Traditional vinification in steel tanks.

Ageing

A short period of ageing on the lees follows fermentation.

Tasting profile

Modern and approachable in style, honest and easy to enjoy, with a sense of warmth and authenticity. The structure is balanced.

Label / history
