This is the wine with which my experience as a winemaker was born.
A single vineyard wine in which I can honestly find all of them
the characteristics of Bolgheri that I love: clean and juicy fruit,
equilibrium.
Merlot brings volume and softness, Cabernet Sauvignon
structure. I give great space to the very Tuscan Sangiovese which gives
complexity and lightness.
It is enjoyable from a young age and extremely versatile.

WINEMAKING
The grapes picked at full ripeness are fermented exclusively
with natural yeasts in concrete tanks, the hat comes
immerse manually for the entire duration of the
fermentation which normally takes 2 weeks for each
variety. After the bovine and spontaneous malolactic fermentations,
the wines are usually assembled before the end of the year,
after which it returns for a year to refine in cement tanks
not vitrified. After the appropriate filtrations it is bottled and
rests for at least 6 months in the bottle.
