Description
A blend of three non-adjacent vineyards (Santo Pietro, Castagno Vecchio, and Pian dei Cerri) on the southwestern side of the denomination, surrounding the parish church of Santa Restituta. The soils date to the Eocene age and consist mainly of clay and limestone, with a more significant presence of pebbles and galestro in Pian dei Cerri, of sand in Castagno Vecchio, and of tuff and marine fossils in Santo Pietro. The 2020 vintage was marked by a cold snap followed by warm, stable weather with significant temperature variations. Summer rains avoided vine stress, leading to well-ripened, small grape clusters with high sugar and polyphenol content.
Color
Medium garnet colour with a hint of brick on the rim.
Grape Varieties
Aroma
Complex aroma of wild red berries and a hint of dried cherry. Captivating and inviting.
Taste
A balanced wine with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a juicy red fruit core, finishing long and harmonious. Elegant and very persistent, with a fine, perfectly balanced grip on the finish and the spicy aftertaste of Sangiovese.
Cellaring Potential
2046+
Food Matching
Grilled meats & vegetables; game dishes; well matured cheese; Pizza/pasta/casseroles and others.
Vinification
The grapes from the different vineyards are fermented and macerated separately; after 24 months of ageing in oak, they are blended and then aged for another 6 months in concrete.
