HARVEST Second half of October
MACERATION At a temperature of about 24°C for 12/20 days. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts.
MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION In steel
AGING At least 18 months in tonneaux and large barrels; assembly in large barrels and further maturation for 4 months. Then at least 12 months of bottle aging.
SENSORY PROFILE Clear hints of small ripe red berries. The spicy and balsamic notes due to the passage in wood are well-integrated, leaving space to the characteristic features of Sangiovese. On the palate it is full-bodied and potent with good acidity and enveloping, crunchy tannins that make the wine elegant and easy to drink. Fresh, lingering finish. The wine undergoes very wide filtration: this can lead to a natural sediment in the bottle that does not affect the wine’s sensory profile.
PAIRING Steak Florentine, game, roasts and mature cheeses.
SERVING TEMPERATURE 16°C.
