Description
- French oak
- Black & red fruit
- Full bodied
- Long finish
The best vintage they have had from this western vineyard. Its qualities start from the color: deeply dark but light at the same time. The flavor is really complex and the progression of different fragrances is endless, it begins with little black and red fruits, all surrounded by a vibrant and lively scent of fermentation. If you're patient, such scent will be turning into floral notes like rose and velvety flowers. The taste is super savory and flavorful, with all the verticality and freshness typical of the 2016 vintage, with a very long after taste.
100% Sangiovese grapes grown in shist and limestone with sedimentary alluvial soil, rich in silt and sand which ranges from blue galestro to alberese.
Manual harvest and the end of September, followed by fermentation in big open top caska for 40 days. Wine aged for 33 months in oak barrels and 12 months in cement tanks.
