Combination of 80% Sangiovese  and 10% Merlot, Canaiolo, 10%. Only 25,000 bottles each year!
The moment we poured into the wine glass, aromas of blueberries, blackberries were obvious. Although there were subtle notes of sweet spices too. On the tongue, a burst of red fruit flavors and spice notes. Leaning towards refine tannins and firm acidity! Well balanced wine.
Fermentation in vats with a 15 days long maceration at a temperature of no more than 30°C. Followed by ten months of further aging n small and medium size oak barrels. After bottling, it was kept in the bottle for 8 months.
