About this wine
Grapes
Sangiovese from Maremma, harvested and selected by hand.
Vinification
After destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled cement vats. It begins at 18°C and rises in controlled stages to approximately 28°C toward the end. Maceration lasts about 20 days, with daily pump-overs and a short délestage near the end. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in cement.
Ageing
Approximately 20% of the wine matures for about six months in second-fill French oak tonneaux. The remainder stays in vitrified cement vats for approximately one year.
