Grape variety: Pure Sangiovese

Vine: Trained using the "Pugliese trellis" method.

Yield: 10,000 kg. per hectare.

Vinification: In our region of Italy, Sangiovese ripens at the end of September. The grapes are harvested manually and are de-stemmed and crushed no more than one hour after harvest.  The grapes and juice macerate on the skins for 8 days at a temperature of 26°C.

Aging: This wine is aged for 10 months in steel tanks and for four months in the bottle prior to release from the winery. 

Sensory characteristics: Deep ruby red colour that develops garnet undertones with age. Its intense bouquet is characteristically redolent of maraschino, plums and a touch of spice.
