- A modern Tuscan style, graceful and complex with aromas of ripe berry fruits, complemented by spice and violets. A smooth and juicy palate of great depth, with ripe fruit and warm savory notes on the finish.
The fruit was harvested at optimum maturity levels. After a careful sorting the grapes were fermented in temperature controlled tanks for five to eight days. The Sangiovese was aged in large oak barrels of 25 to 50 hectolitres and the Cabernet Sauvignon was matured in French oak barriques for a period of six months.
