STORY BEHIND THE WINE

It is mainly produced with Sangiovese grapes and with Ciliegiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested entirely by hand in the second decade of September. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 27-30 ° C, with maceration for 20-25 days. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 18 months in casks, barriques and tonneaux, half new, and for another 12 months in the bottle, before being placed on the market.
