Spacing: 2,40x0,90 m, 4'600 vines/ha.

Generous vintage! Cold spring with few rains.
Summer started off with copious rains and continued with regular temperatures. Storage of water reserve led to a rich vegetative development. During September, sunny days
and fresh nights helped the grapes to reach ideal maturation.

Grapes
Clonal selection of Sangiovese, locally called Brunello. Manual harvest, with strong accurate selection of the best bunches, on September 28^th.

Vinification
Fermentation on the skins for 20 days at controlled temperature below 28°C in 60 and 80 hl short and wide stainless steel tanks.

Aging
A total of 4 years: 2 years in Allier oak casks of 30, 20 and 10 hl; bottled on April 29^th, 2022 and then refined in bottle in a temperature controlled storage room.

Color
Deep ruby red of great intensity.

Bouquet
Rich and complex. The varietal notes of the Sangiovese are enhanced in an elegant way by the tertiary aromas of the ageing.

Taste
Great structure and ripe tannins are in balance with volume and acidity. Long, clean and mineral aftertaste.
