Serving temperature 16-18°C

Production area

Montalcino, Sant'Angelo in Colle.

Vineyard
The soil is rich in clay and has low fertility.
Spacing: 2,40x0,90 m, 4'600 vines/ha.


Weather conditions

Mild winter and mild spring with normal rainfall.

This resulted in regular budding and
vegetative growth. From the month of May, temperatures above seasonal averages and
no rain. The leaf wall reacted to this exceptional climate, developing in a more moderate way and, thanks also to the rains of mid-August, grapes reached a good
maturation.

Fermentation on the skins for 12 days at controlled temperature below 28°C in 60 and 80 hl short and wide stainless steel tanks.


Aging
8-9 months in Allier oak casks of 30 and 10 hl. The rest of the aging is in stainless steel, to preserve freshness.
Bottled on December 19th, 2023.


Color
Ruby red of great intensity.


Bouquet
Wide and inviting. The expressive fruit of Sangiovese variety is very clear.


Taste
Great balance between volume and elegance, with a lively acidity.
Long, clean and mineral aftertaste.
