| Wine making | On arrival in the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and then softly pressed; the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place, which lasted about a week. Maceration was managed with very gentle pumping over and délestage to ensure an intense extraction but at the same time capable of preserving the elegance and sweetness of the tannins. |
| Aging | At the end of the malolactic fermentation, which took place spontaneously by the end of the year, the blended wine was aged in French and Hungarian oak barriques for about a year. The Marchese Antinori was then bottled and aged in the bottle for a further 12 months. |
