Production Notes
After the fermentation in stainless steel tanks lasting 18 days, the wine is transferred to Slavonian oak barrels where it spends 36 months. After that is moved for 12 more months in stainless steel tanks to rest and reintegrate and, in the end the refinement is completed with 12 final months of bottle aging.
Winemaker Notes
This wine is the most complex and elegant expression of the Sangiovese grape variety. It is produced with the grapes from the vineyard “Piaggia”. The excellent exposure and exceptional pedoclimate lend this wine great personality and balance. Regarding the 2019 vintage, everyone in Montalcino agrees that it was one of the best vintages of the last ten years. This is because the climate was excellent throughout the Montalcino area. There were just the right amount of rains at the right time, ensuring a good water supply throughout the year, and it was warm and sunny in the summer. This meant that the fruit reached harvest in perfect condition and fully ripe.
Food & Wine Pairing
For every moment of relaxation and meditation. Perfect with grilled meat, middle-seasoned cheeses and truffle.
