- A silky, elegant wine with intense aromas of strawberries and wild red berried fruit. The soft, rounded palate offers ripe fruits enveloping gentle tannins through to a fresh finish.
The grapes were carefully selected and destemmed, with each variety being vinified separately. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures, reaching a maximum of 30°C. Vinification took place in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit and the expression of the Maremma terroir. The wines were deftly blended and matured in stainless steel until the following June; before being gently filtered prior to bottling.

Winery | The Maremma is a low lying and marshy area near the sea and is considered an important winemaking region. The vineyard is planted at an altitude of 150 to 180 metres above sea level. The microclimate benefits from mistral winds, which have a cooling and ventilating effect on the vines, imparting natural freshness to the grapes while keeping the canopies healthy. The spur-cordon trained vines are predominantly orientated to the south-east to maximise sun exposure, encouraging the grapes to reach optimal phenolic maturity. The vines are planted at a density of 5680 vines per hectare and benefit from the sandy soil which is rich in sandstone and fairly homogeneous; it is a warm, generally airy soil with good drainage properties. The combination of these factors, allows a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine of great freshness and balance. The vines are hand-harvested in three tranches between mid-September and late October. |
