100% Sangiovese
The grapes are selected for the first time by the harvesters in the vineyard, then upon their arrival in the winery they go through a double sorting, of the bunches and then of the berries. Vinification in non-vitrified concrete tanks, filled by gravity, gently acwinerying the grapes into the tank, without using mechanical pumps so as not to corrupt the integrity of the grape. Once fermentation has been established, pumping over and pressing are carried out during the entire period of stay in the tank which can reach up to 25 days; the racking and pressing of the pomace take place using a vertical press. This is followed by maturation for 20 months in large 18hl Slavonian oak barrels. Bottle aging for 36 months.
Deep and brilliant ruby red colour; intense and complex nose, from the typical floral note of violet, to notes of berries and cherries in alcohol, with hints of spices and tobacco, undergrowth, citrus fruits and vanilla; taut and elegant sip, with thick and silky tannins, a nice acidic vein, and a continuous return of olfactory sensations, in a very long persistence.
Florentine steak, braised meats, game, game, tasty dishes with truffles, mature cheeses.
