About Vinification: Fermentation is in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with milling that includes repassing the must over the grape dregs. Fermentation and maceration take 18 – 22 days.A period of 14 – 16 months in wood. Two-thirds are refined in "barriques“ and "tonneaux" of French Oak (80% second-use and 20% new), and onethird in traditional casks. |

About tasting: Well structured, with longevity and perfumes that are intense but not exaggerated, faithfully expressive of deep, Tuscan roots and the ancient bond between the soil, man and culture. Enjoy with red meat, roast chicken and salami &ham. |
