Product notes
Soil of marine origin, calcareous with a high presence of white sea shells that impart mineralogy and energy to the wines. Owing to the proximity of the Mediterranean, the western part of Chianti region has a milder climate resulting in a good balance of the wines.
Production notes
The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then fermented in temperature-controlled cement tanks with their indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine ages for 50% in concrete tanks and 50% in large untoasted 54hl barrels, before being blended. This is followed by refinement for a few months in the bottle.
Tasting notes
Lively ruby red colour. On the nose hints of dried oregano with aromas of cherry, both red and dark. On the palate the ripe cherry balances well with the full-bodied tannins typical of traditional Chianti, and rises vibrantly thanks to the fresh acidity of the finish.
