Cabernet Sauvignon
The terroir is the master of this wine, whose expression is represented by Cabernet Sauvignon.

Colour

Deep ruby red colour with purple nuances.

Nose

Extraordinary identity wine, very intense and elegant. Refined, rich and complex with fruity notes of small black and red fruits combined with fresh undergrowth spices.

Palate

Sweet, thick, dense, voluminous, long and balanced tannins with a fresh acidity that extends into long and intense fruity and spicy notes. Elegant and austere full-bodied wine where the fruit, spices and balsamic freshness dance in a unique and fascinating intertwining. The terroir is the master of this wine; its expression represents the “face to face” comparison of two great vines, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, which have found their great varietal expression in Tuscany.

We hand-pick the grapes in small crates, we store them and we cool them for one night. The day after we double-check the grapes on the sorting table before starting the winemaking process.
Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in gres amphorae and in small temperature-controlled steel tanks.
The wine rests on its own skins for 30 days and the malolactic fermentation takes place naturally. Then we decant it in French oak barriques where the wine is elevated for 24 months.
After bottling, it is aged in glass for at least 18 months before the release.
