The exploitation and selection of the different expressions of Sangiovese, in this rich alternation of soils and exposures, generates this great and innovative VINO NOBILE.
Sangiovese (100% Prugnolo Gentile biotype) from the Santa Caterina hill.
Depending on the individual selections, the Sangiovese wines are fermented in different ways in order to respect and enhance their different characteristics:
• we look for fruit, softness and sweet tannins from the more mature wines
• we look for citrus notes and elegance from the lighter ones
• richness in taste and minerality from the areas with salty clay
Depending on their potential, the different selections are aged separately in barriques, 10-hl casks and 30-40-hl barrels.
An intense red colour with purplish glints.
On the nose there is a real explosion of red fruit, reminiscent of cherries in alcohol, redcurrants, blackberries, myrtle-leaved orange and myrtle.
In the mouth this wine is immediately soft and sweet, then moves on to a long, light and elegant finish.
