The 2017 vintage of this Tuscan wine is an exclusive blend of two Sangiovese clones, carefully grown on a cru vineyard in San Miniato, Pisa. The vineyard is located at an altitude of 200-250 meters above sea level, on a southeast-facing hill that provides the perfect microclimate for Sangiovese grapes. The soil consists of sandstone, with a significant presence of marine fossils from the Pliocene era and well-integrated compact white clay. This unique soil contributes to the high mineral complexity and high pH, resulting in a wine of exceptional quality.
The grapes are harvested during the first ten days of October, when they reach optimal ripeness. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled cement vats, using only indigenous yeasts and with a five-week maceration on the skins. After fermentation, the wine ages for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by one year in the bottle. This extended aging process creates a wine with a complex structure and rich flavors.
The color of the wine is a very deep garnet. The nose is complex and lively, with aromas of wild berries, ripe red fruits (particularly blackberries), enriched with nuances of leather, barley, and roasted coffee. The palate is dry and lean, with very pronounced tannins. The finish develops a classic bitter note reminiscent of dark chocolate, a characteristic encouraged by the clayey soil. This wine is ideal for hearty dishes such as stews, wild game, aged cheeses, steak, and traditional Tuscan bone-steak. Store the bottle on its side in a cool place (below 20°C) and uncork at least one hour before serving for the best tasting experience.
