Vinification
The grapes are harvested when they achieve optimal ripeness and vinified separately in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. When fermentation is completed, the Sangiovese is left in contact with the skins for another 10 days, while the Merlot is placed directly into new French oak barriques. At the end of maceration, the Sangiovese is put into French oak tonneuax for 12 months. During maturation the wines are racked twice and combined only shortly before bottling.
A sulphite-free wine that’s the fruit of our passion, which expresses the purity of Maremma and the boldness of our philosophy. Strong, complex structure with a persistent, spicy finish.
