This is a sensual wine with black cherry fruit notes, tobacco and hints of liquorice and spice. The elegant tannins and well balanced with the fruit show an optimal maturity of the grapes. The long, juicy, fresh and pleasant finish, with the crispness and texture, express the authentic character of Sangiovese from Castelnuovo Berardenga.

VINIFICATION

Grapes are manually harvested and sorted twice, firstly when they arrive at the winery as bunches and then again after de-stemming, by an optical sorter.

Alcoholic fermentation: The temperature in the tanks is computer controlled; the must is kept in contact with the skins for about 20 days. "Remontage" occurs every 8 hours and one "delestage" per week. A brief maceration occurs after fermentation. The malolactic fermentation is carried in large French oak of 48 hl each.

The wine rests for 10 months in wood of which 4 are on the fine lees, and 4 months in bottle.
