This context favors a tense, deep, and well-defined Sangiovese profile, with a natural vocation for balance between fruit, freshness, and structure. The vinification involves fermentation at 30-31 °C and a long maceration on the skins for 4 weeks, followed by a total aging in wood of 4 and a half years between small barrels, barriques, and tonneaux of French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents the typical color of a great mature Tuscan red, intense and bright.
