Grape varietals: 100% Sangiovese Soil: Alberese and Galestro.
Vinification and aging: fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats where maceration lasts 16/18 days at a controlled temperature of 28/30° C. Shortly after malolactic fermentation the wine is transferred into oak barrels where it is aged for 10/12 months. The bottled wine then remains stored in the cellar for refinement prior to its release.
Tasting notes: intense ruby red in color. An ample and complex bouquet, with distinct notes of flowers, fresh fruit and spices. The palate is vigorous and vibrant, a lovely acidic vein fused with a lot of flavor make it an ample and balanced wine. Elegant and soft tannins. The finish and aftertaste are persistent and lingering. A true and authentic expression of Sangiovese.
Serving suggestions: traditional accompaniments are red meat (both roasts and salted), game and mature cheeses. Modern cuisine pairs this wine successfully with typical Mediterranean first courses.
Serving temperature: 18° C – open 1 hour ahead of time. Store at a constant temperature of 17° C away from light.
