WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process begins with hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes in early October. Fermentation takes place over 10 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by a 15-day maceration period. The wine is then aged for 18 months in Slavonian Oak barrels, with an additional 6 months of refinement in the bottle. The vineyards are organically farmed and certified.
