Label since 1985

Production Area
Grapes from the area of Morellino di Scansano, facing the archipelago of Argentario and Giglio Island

Blend and Vinification
70% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The carefully selected grapes are harvested with a maximum yield of 2 kg per plant. Vinification begins with soft crushing followed by long maceration on the skins (20-25 days) and soft pressing of the fermented skins. The wine is then left on the fine less so that malolactic fermentation begins. The wine is aged in stainless steel for about 1 year and continues for another 16 months in new Allier and Nevers oak tonneaux. It is bottled without particular treatment or filtering to preserve the organoleptic features and ageing potential.

Organoleptic analysis:
COLOR:cleep, bright ruby red with light garnet hues.
AROMA: intense, lingering, with strong hints of vanilla, tobacco and ripe fruit like blueberries and bottled cherries.
FLAVOUR:dry, tangy, very warm with good tannic and mouthfeel and excellent lenght.
AGEING: due to its structure and tannin, the wine is at its best 3 years after the harvest but can age well for another 10 years.

Serving with food
First courses like pappardelle with hare sauce, game based second courses, duck breast with pomegranate or pork filet with balsamic vinegar, and mature pecorino or goat cheese.
