Enclosed in a rounded bottle, reminiscent of the traditional straw-covered flasks, is a wine with confident character and lingering fruity notes, thanks to lengthy ageing in oak.
PRODUCTION DISTRICT:
Grapes from the Tuscan hills, traditionally well-suited thanks to an ideal combination of soil, aspect and climate.
TYPE OF SOIL:
Well-aspected, consisting mainly of tuffstone and alberese.
TRAINING SYSTEM:
Guyot and spurred cordon.
HARVEST:
Grapes harvested by mid-October.
WINEMAKING METHOD:
The ripe grapes undergo the red winemaking method with 3–4 days of cold maceration prior to fermenting at a controlled temperature (26–28 °C) with frequent pumping-over.
AGEING NOTE:
The ageing takes place in part in barrel, in part in concrete tanks, to enhance roundness and harmony.
RECOMMENDED CELLARING:
5 years in bottle laid down in a cool, dark place.
