About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the "Lapina" plot, where the soil, location and elevation provide favourable conditions for Sangiovese.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early October. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place in temperature-controlled concrete vessels. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in large, old French oak barrels.

Ageing

The wine matures for 30 months in barriques, followed by three months in concrete vats and a further six to eight months in bottle.

Tasting profile

The wine has a firm tannic structure.

Serving and pairing

Pair with refined, richly flavoured meat dishes.
