Production Area
In our new densely planted vineyards at Poggio Maestrino, Montiano,
overlooking the Argentario and island of Giglio, the jewel in the
Maremma coast’s crown.
Blend and Vinification
80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot.
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 barriques. It is bottled without particular treatment
or filtering to preserve the organoleptic features and ageing potential.
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.
