V I N E YA R D S & G R A P E S Grapes originate from vineyards with the best positioning in Tuscany. The soils are

of various types, predominating sand and clay. Tuscany is known for a warm, sunny

growing season with substantial temperature differential between day and night.

Such conditions produce flavourful and rich grapes for wines appealingly complex

with distinctive aromas. The vines are manly positioned to point south, which

contributes to the complete maturation of the fruit.

F E R M E N TAT I O N A N D A G I N GThe grapes are harvested upon full maturation during September. The wine is

vinified using an average maceration time of 8 days. Temperature is controlled (28-29

°C) during the fermentation to encourage the release of attractive tannins and to

develop a clear ruby colour, while maintaining the rich fruit aromas of the grape.

After fermentation, the wine is kept in stainless steel temperature-controlled tanks

for 6 months.
