Vinification

From hillside parcels around 240 m a.s.l. in Poggibonsi (Tuscany). Guyot and cordon training with grassed rows; ~2,500 vines/ha, yield ~30 hl/ha. Old vines (75+ years). Hand-harvested in small boxes in the first week of October, with careful grape selection to preserve berry integrity.

 


In the cellar

Destemming, pigeage (cap punch-down), 5–6 weeks of temperature-controlled skin-contact fermentation in concrete vats. 14 months in French oak. Style aims for clean fruit, fine-grained tannins, tight focus.


Food pairings

Aged cheeses, red meats, and game after long marinades; also excellent with Tuscan beef ragù and grilled lamb.
