About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie on limestone soils in the Chianti area.

Grapes

Sangiovese is blended with a small proportion of Canaiolo Nero.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, then sorted and gently pressed. Vinification includes 10–15 days of extended skin contact at a controlled temperature, with regular punch-downs to extract colour and tannins.

Ageing

The wine rests briefly in stainless-steel tanks.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with red meat, grilled meat, spicy meat dishes and cheeses.
