This wine is produced with Sangiovese grapes highlighting the balanced and harmonious traits of its habitat. The wine shows a medium
body, sweet and noble tannins and a distinct tasting profile. Excellent to drink immediately, it reveals an impressive
aging potential.
The heavy rains after flowering created
some difficulties that our team was nevertheless able to manage excellently. Thanks to the excellent water
retention capacity of our clay-rich soils, the bunches easily overcame the summer heat and preserved their acidity.
TASTING NOTES
In the glass it has garnet red reflections. On the nose aromas of small red fruits, pomegranate and the unmistakable scent of violet
of good Sangiovese. In the background a touch of vanilla and tomato leaf. On the palate it is well balanced, with sweet notes of ripe
cherry and plum jam, supported by a precise and elegant tannin. The body is dynamic and enveloping and the pleasant drinkability is
accompanied by a good persistence.
The sediments that you may find in this wine show that it is made of pure Sangiovese
with minimal intervention. The sediment is due to its high content of a natural antioxidant called quercetin, which is perfectly safe. This is not a defect, it is a characteristic of pure Sangiovese.

September 5 - 15
VINIFICATION
20-25 days of maceration at controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation is
conducted by yeasts selected by our
pied de cuve
.
Pied de cuve
is the first batch of grapes that is harvested early to select
the yeasts naturally present on the skins. These will become the basic yeast for the
fermentation of the grapes, which will be harvested later. This process allows us to
enhance the bond between the wine and its vineyard, thus sealing its sense of place.
AGING
At least 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels, barriques and oak tonneaux
