Spring was cool and rainy, which affected the early-ripening varietiesduring flowering, resulting in a reduction in the grape yield per vine. Around mid-June, summer arrived,which was hot and dry. The harvest began on September 5th and ended on October 10th.VINIFICATIONVinification was induced by indigenous yeasts and separated by variety in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of30/32°C, with manual pumping over and a total maturation (cuvaison) of 25 days for the Sangiovese and 25 days for theMerlot. After racking, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.AGINGAfter malolactic fermentation, the two varieties were blended. The wine was then agedin fine-grain oak barrels, without the use of new wood, and bottled in January 2020.Color: Ruby red with vermilion highlightsNose: Fruity, cherry, raspberry, and fresh red fruitTaste: Harmonious fruitiness, full on the palate.
