Harvest | The grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards and harvested with crates. |
Production technique | The grapes are destemmed, not crushed, and are then racked into temperature-controlled stainless steel vats or small concrete tanks. Alcoholic fermentation, maceration and malolactic fermentation take place. |
Wine making | Maceration lasts about 12 days for the Sangiovese and up to 20 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Afterwards, the wine is transferred into barriques. The different grape varieties are subjected to élevage separately for one year. At this stage, the best grapes, selected through tastings, are merged into a final blend, and undergo another year of élevage. |
Aging | In 100% French oak barrels: 80% new and 20% one-year-old. The wine is periodically racked and tasted during maturation. After bottling, the wine rests for about six months before marketing. |
