Grape Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Soil: Alberese and Galestro.
Vinification and aging: fermentation in stainless steel vats; maceration for approximately 20 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30° C. Shortly after alcoholic fermentation the wine is transferred into barriques of French oak where malolactic fermentation takes place and where it is subsequently aged for 24 months. Once bottled, the wine remains stored in the cellar for refinement prior to release.
Tasting notes: intense ruby red colour. Incredible intense bouquet with notes of coffee, hazelnut, incense, liquorice. An impressive tannin structure, suitable for long aging. It has a long, persistent lingering. A good acidic component that is well balanced with the tannins. This wine, in its own unique and unmistakable way expresses the characteristic salinity and minerality of the terrain. An excellent expression of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chianti Classico area of production.
Serving suggestions: traditional accompaniments are red meat (both fresh and salted), game and mature cheeses.
Serving temperature: 18° C. Open and decant at least 1 hour ahead of time. Store at a constant temperature of 17° C away from light.
