The best Sangiovese grapes, coming from a selection of the vineyards of the Maggiarino farm, one of the most suitable areas of La Braccesca, have carried out a winemaking process aimed at preserving the aromas and enhancing the structure. After destemming and soft pressing, the grapes were transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 28°C; at the end of the maceration, which lasted for approximately 20 days, the wine was transferred to tonneaux, where the malolactic fermentation took place and the refinement process began, lasting approximately 12 months.
