This is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grown in vineyards averaging 15 years old and yielding 80 quintals per hectare, planted in medium-textured, clay soils. The must ferments in temperature-controlled vertical steel fermenters for 12-14 days, then wine matures 6 months in 30hl Slavonian oak ovals and a further 3 months in the bottle.
