APPELLATION: Toscana Rosso IGT
GRAPE VARIETY: Sangiovese
SOIL: Rocky limestone soil with a high presence of galestro, the distinctive schistous rock typical of the Tuscan landscape.
HARVEST: Hand-picked grapes with a double selection. The fruit comes from a single vineyard, selected to express the purest character of Sangiovese and its place of origin.
VINIFICATION: The grapes are destemmed and transferred into stainless steel tanks, where they undergo a 72-hour cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place at controlled temperature for approximately fifteen days, with regular pump-overs and délestage to maximize the extraction of aromatic and phenolic compounds. At the end of fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the skins for a further seventy-two hours of maceration.
AGEING: Twelve months in stainless steel tanks, followed by at least six months of bottle ageing.
BOTTLING: July 2024.
ALCOHOL: 13.5% vol.
TASTING NOTES: Bright ruby red in colour. The bouquet is fragrant and elegant, with aromas of cherry, blackcurrant and orange zest, complemented by delicate hints of leather. On the palate, it is harmonious, smooth and persistent, supported by lively freshness that leads to a balanced and pleasantly lingering finish.
