Product Details
The winery is characterized by its meticulous winemaking, which takes advantage of Tuscany's soil and climate.
Classification: Toscana IGT
Grape varieties: Merlot, Sangiovese
Vintage Report: The 2009 harvest was exceptionally high quality, resulting in an outstanding vintage. Long spring rains and winds secured groundwater, and moderate rainfall in June and July allowed the grapes to mature. September brought warm days and cool nights, with large diurnal temperature swings that perfectly ripened the grapes. Grapes with excellent acidity and complex aromas arrived at the cellar in perfect condition, yielding wines of exceptional quality.
Tasting Notes: A beautiful, dense red with a purplish hue. It offers fruit aromas of blueberry and cherry, spices like anise and black pepper, and aromas of cocoa beans and coconut, along with complex notes of forest floor, mushrooms, truffles, coffee, and fresh mint. It is smooth yet concentrated, with a warm flavor and elegant tannins that integrate into a firm structure, revealing powerful, persistent ripened fruitiness and a sense of maturity. It finishes with a perfect balance of aroma and flavor, clean, refined, and dynamic.
Winemaking Method: The winery is characterized by its meticulous winemaking, which takes advantage of Tuscany's soil and climate. Fully ripened grapes are carefully selected and harvested, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Afterward, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, which impart rich aromas and soft tannins. The aging period is at least 12 months, with further bottle aging to increase complexity and depth.
