Sensations of exceptional richness, this wine reveals itself as dense and full-bodied as the essence of morello cherry pulp, blackberry and grape. Not only the concentration reveals the sublime but even the taste is soft and supple very admirable and harmonious, with tannins that curb and drains but are not bitter. A limpid wine, well calibrated and clear with nuances of pure frosting spice, the fruit evokes pulpy exceptional expressive power.
From a selection of grapes of the company, the grapes are de-stemmed carefully vinified in modern stainless steel tanks with maceration on the skins for an average duration of 25-30 days at a temperature of about 26 ° Celsius. In late December the “Tuscan Governo” method begins, by slowly re-fermenting the wine with Sangiovese grapes left to dry in a loft at controlled humidity and temperature. It then ages in oak barrels for about 6 months and further bottle ageing for about 3 months.
Varietals : Sangiovese 70% , Merlot 30%
98 Points Luca Maroni
“A great wine, such that it is harmoniously balanced with its exceptional polyphenolic wealth, the softness of its enveloping taste tastes great. Then this great wine is absolutely soft, cloying not only for the smell with its balm of blackberry and menthol of a cedary pure oak. On the palate it is dense, potentially silky, with suppleness and roundness of flavour really amazingly succinct. A wonderful oenological performance, an inviolable residual oxidative integrity of a highly qualifying base. One of the best Italian reds of the year, hats off.”
