The vineyard:
Our 20-year-old vines lie on sand rich in oceanic sediments at 300 meters of altitude in Terricciola, Tuscany. The harvest period of our guyot trained vines usually starts in September.
The Vintage:
2022 started with a mild winter. The temperature started to rise at the end of February and the growing season began. A few frosts were reported at the beginning of April which resulted in a lower yield by the end of the cycle. Whilst it was a windy and dry summer, the vines were less affected thanks to healthy spring rainfalls. Great quality surpassed our expectations.
The Winemaking:
The sangiovese was hand-picked, destemmed, softly pressed followed by a light maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of 11 days. It is then aged in stainless steel for 3 months before bottled.
The Wine:
Onion skin pink. The scent is defined by intense grapefruit, wild strawberries, and ripe cherries notes. Fresh, precise, and elegant thanks to its citrus and floral notes. The finish is long and delicate, with a marked minerality.
Food pairing:
Seafood salad, grilled steak, stuffed clams, roasted octopus, fish soup.
