Vinification
After careful selection of the grapes, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with frequent pump-overs and extended skin maceration.
Aging
At the end of winemaking, the “vino fiore” is aged for at least three years in Slavonian and French oak barrels of 30–50 hectoliters; four years after the harvest, it is bottled and continues its maturation in the bottle for at least four months.
Grape Variety
Sangiovese
Appearance
Red ruby colour.
Nose
Broad and rich aroma with hints of vanilla, violet, and notes of marasca cherry.
Taste
Robust, warm, and generous on the palate, yet velvety and harmonious, expressing its best qualities after being aerated in a decanter.
