Grapes

Sangiovese

100% hand-picked Sangiovese grapes from a single vineyard

Half of the wine is left to age in barriques and the other half in large Slavonian oak barrels for 14 months, followed by a further 18 months of ageing in the bottle. Elegant, full bodied wine with soft tannins, floral lily and ripe red berry fruits notes and a long finish. Produced exclusively in the best vintages

2018 was a very unstable year, characterized by a particularly cold winter
and a spring full of rains. For this reason, careful interventions have
been planned in the vineyard to avoid botrytis problems. Fortunately,
the month of September was marked by sunny and windy days.
The grapes reached a correct ripeness thanks to a very effective foliar
system and an excellent temperature range between day and night.
