GRAPES AND CULTIVATION
Varietals: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot
Terroir: Pliocenic origin, sedimentary strata with yellow sands and clays. Notable presence of marine fossils.
Microclimate: Temperate – hot climate. Average to high rainfall, cold winters and warm – hot summers with sunny sunsets.
Sun Exposure: South – West. Vineyards running north-south.
Vineyard Work: Soil work alternating with natural grass covering, and cordon pruning with a few spurs and with a low number of buds per plant. We perform crop thinning during the growing season and a final selection during harvesting. Grapes are hand-picked and placed into small cases, moved to the cellar, and further selected with a conveyor belt at pressing.
FERMENTATION
Two-hour long pressing fermentation, light pressing, enzyme-free static decanting, vinification in large stainless steel vats at 20°C. Malo-lactic turn, not filtered. In steel until bottling.
Serving Suggestions: Between 10°-12°C
Parings: Ideal with starters, fish dishes – salmon, amberjack, tartare – fresh cheeses, salads, and white meats.
OENOLOGIST’S NOTES
The subtle finesse of roses, peaches, and black cherry. A juicy and light wine to drink with cheeses and cold cuts, or even just to quench your thirst!
