2018 Vintage

This great year was reflected in abundant and healthy bunches filling the organic vineyards. A warm spring set the scene for what proved to be an exciting vintage. The grapes benefited from a mild summer with occasional showers, allowing them to reach perfect ripeness.

Grape variety: 100% Sangiovese.

Harvest: Grapes were picked between the end of August and the end of September.

Vinification: Alcoholic fermentation with the use of indigenous yeast and maceration on the skins lasted 15 days, depending on the individual lots. Malolactic fermentation took place in large, Slavonian oak casks.

Ageing: 6 months mainly in large oak casks (botti) and a minimum of 3 months in the bottle.
