Produced only in the best years and
exclusively with grapes from the vineyards of
Pianrosso, it is the wine that has always authoritatively
represented the terroir and the name of the
company.
From these vineyards the
grapes to be destined for the Riserva typology are also selected.
Vineyards: 11.69 hectares boast the
"Pianrosso" designation, located in medium-textured and
galestro soils of Eocene origin between 240 and 360 meters above sea level.
Grape variety: 100% Sangiovese.
Vinification, fermentation and refinement:
in stainless steel containers and
vitrified cement tanks at a controlled temperature using
cooling jackets and immersion plates.
Ageing: In oak barrels for a
long period, followed by further refinement in the
bottle.
Color: Ruby red tending towards garnet.
Organoleptic Characteristics: Intense and
complex aromas. Sensations of ripe red berry fruit
complement with various spicy notes; the taste is
warm, harmonious with pronounced tannins; a full-bodied
wine with a long taste-olfactory persistence that can
further evolve with long aging in the
bottle.
Service: Uncork one hour before pouring and
serve at 18°C ??in a "balloon" shaped crystal glass.
The bottles should be stored in the dark, laid out in a cool place and
without temperature changes.
Food pairing: Ideal with roast or stewed
game and with first courses with seasoning based on the
same meats. Also excellent with mature
cheeses.
Technical notes: The bottles are protected thanks to an
anti-counterfeiting hologram on the capsule.
