Decidedly closed on the first impact showing notes of black prunes, sulphur, gunpowder and black cherries. It opens over time in the glass and shows Mediterranean hints. Medium bodied, light tannins and a well made finale of medium length. Drink now.
90 points Raffaele Vecchione WinesCritic.com
90% Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile and 10% Mammolo.
The grapes are picked manually, and after de-stemming and soft pressing, are fermented using indigenous yeast in steel vats filled to no more than two-thirds of their capacity. The fermentation process lasts about a week at controlled temperatures from 28 to 30 degrees.
The wine matures for several months in vitrified cement vats where malolactic fermentation occurs. Before bottling the wine is lightly filtered and shipped the summer after harvest.
Due to this vintage’s particular characteristic of freshness, we recommend drinking it within 4 to 5 years from harvest
