WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from estate vineyards. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with skin contact. The wine is aged for approximately 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks (botti), preserving the bright primary fruit characteristics of Sangiovese while adding subtle complexity and softening the tannins before bottling.
