About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The wine takes its name from the 6.38-hectare vineyard from which it originates, in Castelnuovo Berardenga. Its identity is conceived as an expression of this individual site and its Tuscan setting.
Grapes
90% Sangiovese, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot.
Ageing
The varieties are matured separately for 18 months. Sangiovese ages in 10–20 hl French-oak casks, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot mature in barriques. The assembled wine receives a further six months in bottle.
Technical data
Alcohol: 14% vol. Available formats: 0.75 L and 1.5 L.
Tasting profile
A refined purple colour introduces a complex bouquet of pungent spices, dark forest berries, ginger peel and orange zest. Dense tannins are balanced by pronounced freshness, shaping a rich, sweetly spiced palate. Black pepper and bitter Madagascar cocoa carry the generous finish. The current shop description also emphasizes dark cherry, liquorice and persistent black-fruit flavours.
Serving and pairing
Serve at approximately 18 °C. Pair with richly flavoured meat dishes such as roast kid, Florentine-style beef brisket and mixed grills. Its freshness and fruit are intended to remain enjoyable over a period measured in decades.
