Alc. 14%
It is made mainly with sangiovese blended with other red varieties from our vineyards, with the addiction of some grapes coming from friend’s vineyards always in our area of Pitigliano and Sovana. The soils are highly tufaceous, loose, acid, with a low organic fertility but rich in minerals such as potassium, magnesium, sodium. The grapes are hand picked and selected, and vinified separately. Fermentation takes place without the addiction of yeasts and it lasts, depending on the vintage and including maceration, from 15 to 20 days. The wine matures for a few months in inox tanks. The color is ruby red beautifully brilliant; the nose in intense and persistent with aromas of red fruits and plum. The taste is warm and dry with smooth tannins.
