Description

  • French oak
  • Ripe fruit
  • Spices
  • Full bodied

Purple-red in colour, and clear. On the nose, ripe fruit hints are joined by gentle spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied. Appealing finish, with a long lasting aftertaste.

A red blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 5% other red varietals grown in the hilly zones in Vinci and some surrounding areas.

Fermentation occurs in steel tanks for 12-14 days, at a controlled temperature of 28/29°C. Frequent pumping over encourage the release of the colouring substances and the polyphenolic components. Ageing takes place in French oak casks for 10 months.
