VINEYARD
Produced exclusively with grapes from the Rocca delle Macìe vineyards.

GRAPE VARIETAL
100% Sangiovese, carefully selected.

VINIFICATION
This wine is produced only in years of exceptional vintage. Rather than aging in large barrels, the wine spends 9 to 12 months in smaller 50 gallon French oak barriques, from the Allier region, and is then refined for at least 9 months in the bottle.

WINE DESCRIPTION
Color: intense ruby red with reflections of garnet.
Nose: intense, ample, with hints of aged berries and a balanced bouquet of toasted aromas acquired from the wood of the barriques.
Palate: warm, robust, and well balanced with an element of tannin.

AGING
This wine can be stored for long periods and should rest horizontally in a dark area at cellar conditions.

WINEMAKER'S RECOMMENDATIONS
Serve at room temperature not less than 65°F. It pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, wild game and dry cheeses.
