Intense ruby red tending to garnet. Intense on the nose with hints of cherries and strawberries. On the palate, it's full, and quite tannic, with a long finish, very enveloping.
Vinification
Winemaking follows traditional methods: grapes are harvested once ripe in Chianti appellation territories and are crushed immediately to minimize oxidation. The wine is then fermented in temperature-controlled barrels (20-25C). When the process is complete, the wine is places further in contact with the skins for more color extraction. At the end of fermentation, the wine is stored at a controlled temperature for a minimum period of 24 months.
