TASTING NOTES
The hand harvest is carried out in mid-September for the Merlot, mid-September for the Sangiovese and early October for the Cabernet Sauvignon. The fermentation and maceration processes take place for a duration of 15-20 days in steel tanks at a temperature of 25-28 ° C. Then the racking is done with consequent lowering of the temperature of the wine to 18-20 ° to allow the start of the malolactic fermentation. Refinement occurs in traditional 3500 lt. and 500 lt. French oak barrels. After 10 months the wine is then bottled and aged for at least 4 months before being sold.
