100% Sangiovese. Tradition at the service of the territory.

Selection of grapes from the old vineyard, a Sangiovese reminiscent of the great wines of the area. In processing it is conceptually close to a Reserve.

Compared to the volcanic 2019 and the crazy 2017 it finds its harmony from the first sip. Refined and balanced, it is a wine that has reached its full maturity highlighted on the palate by notes of ripe red fruits and blackberry, balsamic hints, dried fruit and in general a good breadth in the mouth. Acidity and tannin give a dry and textural closure.

After 3 days from opening it still amazes with aromatic depth: earthy note, rhubarb, licorice. Simply very long.
