Produced from grapes grown in our estates of Gaville (Florence) and
Chianciano/Montepulciano (Siena), vineyards particularly suited for the
production of great wines.
Vinification: fermentation takes place in individual tanks for the
grapes of each vineyard, with controlled temperature maceration on the skins
for 10-15 days at 25-29°C (77-84°F).
Finishing: in the spring, once the malolactic fermentation is
complete, the separate crus are assembled and the wine placed in small oak
barrels where it remains until the following January. After bottling the
wine is bottle aged in our temperature controlled cellars for at least
another eight months before its release date.
Color: ruby red with orange reflections.
Bouquet: clean and intense, with complex hints of spices, licorice,
vanilla and cherries.
Flavor: full, rich and persistent with a great, elegant tannin
structure and finish.
Alcohol: 13% by volume.
Serving temperature: 20°C, 68°F in a decanter.
Gastronomy: roasts, game and Tuscan cheeses.
