About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are estate-grown in Greve in Chianti on predominantly limestone soils and harvested by hand.

Grapes

Tuscan Trebbiano, Aromatic Traminer and complementary estate-grown grapes. The first vintage was produced in 1992.

Vinification

The whole grapes are gently pressed following brief cold maceration on the skins. The free-run juice is separated, allowed to settle naturally and fermented at low temperature.

Ageing

Maturation takes place on the lees for approximately 5 months, followed by at least 2 months of bottle ageing.

Technical data

Alcohol: 12.50% vol. Average annual production: 2,000 bottles. Format: 750 ml.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow with green reflections. The powerful, aromatic and fruity bouquet evokes rose, tea, figs, pineapple and orange blossom. The palate is aromatic and medium-bodied.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10–12 °C with fish, shellfish, vegetable dishes, soft cheeses or goat cheese.
