ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
The colour is deep garnet. The bouquet is delicate and penetrating, with hints of mature plum, and the flavour is dry, warm and robust.
GRAPE VARIETIES
Sangiovese (Prugnolo) 90% – blend of native red grapes 10%.
VINIFICATION
After careful stalk removal and pressing, the grapes undergo a slow maceration that lasts 16 – 18 days at a controlled temperature that doesn’t exceed 28°C. During this stage, pump-overs are carried out several times a day, diminishing as fermentation winds down. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally during the month of December.
MATURAZIONE
The wine is aged for two years in medium- sized Slavonian oak casks, and small French oak barrels. This is followed by a six-month period of refinement in the bottle.
ABBINAMENTI GASTRONOMICI
It is the perfect accompaniment for red meats, game and well-seasoned cheeses. Best opened at least two hours before serving or decanted. Serving Temperature: 18 – 20C.
