Food Matching
The elegance of this wine, thanks also to its body and structure, makes it a wine for meditation. It matches all our best dishes of the Tuscan tradition: great with complex first courses (lasagne, pinci pasta with sauces made with game), second courses made with game, braised meat and ripe and spicy cheeses.
Vinification
removal of grape stalks and soft pressing, fermentation in stainless steel casks at the controlled temperature of 28-30° C, maceration on the skins for 20-25 days with extraction technique made with delestage and with pumping over during the first week of maceration. Then a delestage a week spaced out with pumping over decreasing along the process.
Aging
Aged 36 months in French oak barrels of 5 Hl. Then other 18 months in the bottle for refining.
