Sangiovese from a classic Brunello producer. Meaty, smoky, dense and tannic with aromas and flavours of dried cherries, earth and violets. On the palate, it is dense and broad with flavours of cherry, earth and that telltale Montalcino terroir. With all the hallmarks of Montalcino, and very well made, it represents fantastic value. Harvest is 100% destemmed with a soft pressing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 28-30 degrees C, pumping over for the first week of maceration followed by skin-contact maceration for 20-25 days with rack and return technique (delestage). Aged in 32-hectoliter Slovenian Oak casks (foudre) for 14 months, then another 3 months in the bottle before release. Wine is slightly filtered before bottling.
