This red wine is made with Sangiovese grapes from a 20 year vineyard of about two hectares lining the south side of the estate, with intentionally limited yields in order to achieve higher quality.
Tastewise, this has a dusky element. Cacao nibs bitters, stewed apples, white pepper, plums, Mediterranean herbs, tannins that could you whole mouth but acidity keeps you going for more.
Vinification: de-stemming, maceration and spontaneous fermentation of about 20 days in stainless steel and concrete. The wine is then aged in neutral barriques for 6-8 months and bottled without any filtration.
