This wine is produced from vineyards averaging 25 years old, lying at 200, 300, 400 meters, each vineyard with a different exposure.
The low-nutrient, rocky soil is mainly composed of clay and limestone. The growing area, located near Castelnuovo dell’Abate, overlooks the
Val d’Orcia, south-east of Montalcino. Manual harvesting is practiced, with a rigorous quality-selection of the grapes and a very low yield.
Vinification is in traditional oak vats with spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, long macerations and pumping
over. The wine is aged for 30 months in 30 hl Slavonian oak casks. The wine was bottled in November 2023.
Description: deep ruby red, sour cherries and plums on the nose, dark aromas of tar, slightly smoky aromas, elegant minerality on the palate
Rich in finesse and elegant, again sour cherries and hints of vanilla, finely integrated tannins, still somewhat closed, which speaks for its longevity.
Let it mature a bit (ripe to drink until 2040+)
Food recommendation: ideal with grilled steaks
