Varietal: 100% Sangiovese

Alcohol: 12.5%

Wine Notes: Bright ruby red color.  Intense and characteristic bouquet, fruity with a violet fragrance.  Dry and harmonious on the palate with notes of dark chocolate and black cherries.  

Wine Making Technique: Traditional vinification method: ripe grapes are harvested from the best vineyards and immediately crushed in order to minimize oxidation.  The must is then fermented in large stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23-24° C.  When the primary fermentation is finished, the wine is stored in contact with the skins for a greater extraction of color and structure for a period of 10-15 days.  At the end of the fermentation the wine is aged in Slovenian oak casks for a minimum period of 24 months before being released.  

Recommended Pairings: Ideal with grilled meats, pasta dishes with rich tomato sauce, charcuterie and aged cheese.
