100% Sangiovese.
After careful selection in the vineyard, the grapes un- dergo soft crushing and destalking. During fermentation, which takes place at 26 to 28 °C, the must is pumped over with plunging of the cap on a daily basis, in order to favour the extraction of the noble compounds from the skins. Maceration lasts 25 days depending on the vintage. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, af- ter which the wine continues to mature for 15 months in large casks of French oak with a capacity of 28 and 34 hl. After maturation, the final blend is assembled, bottled, and ages in glass a minimum of 6 months.
Color: Deep red rather intense, from the nail for a long time young, even in the course of aging in bottle. Bouquet: Very intense and pleasant floral notes with touches of licorice and herbs and hints of wild berries. Taste: Full bodied wine, very consistent and at the sametime per- sistent, concentrating in the glass the best that you can have from Sagiovese grapes that ripen on calcareous clay soils of the estate.
The wine is very well suited for long aging and accompanies perfectly red meats, especially roasted and stewed game.
