VINIFICATION: Harvesting was done strictly by hand. Fermentation for each varietal (sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc), took place at a controlled temperature, in order to best preserve the olfactory characteristics and the typicity of the grapes. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. Then aged in French new oak barrels for approximately 18 months. The wine was subsequently blended and bottled on the estate, then aged for one more year in the bottle before being released on the market.
