Each variety that makes up the wine is fermented separately in 30 hl conical cement vats, using only spontaneous yeasts. After the first 2-3 days of open pump-overs, the process switches to one closed pump-over per day to promote better extraction. The moment of racking is carefully chosen through frequent tastings, typically occurring after about 20 days. Once racked, the wine is transferred directly to barriques to complete malolactic fermentation. Aging continues in French oak barriques, with 40% new wood, for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months. This process allows the wine to develop complexity and harmony. Thanks to its structure and balance, the wine has an extraordinary aging potential, extending up to 20 years. In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet rich in notes of forest fruits, complemented by spices and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it stands out for its complexity and elegance, with well-integrated tannins that enrich its structure, leading to a long and pleasant finish. Perfect for pairing with red meats, game, roasts, and aged cheeses, this wine is also an excellent match for typical Tuscan dishes, such as the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina and ribollita. To fully appreciate it, we recommend allowing the wine to "breathe" for 15-30 minutes before serving it at a temperature of 16-18°C.
