Grape Variety
Sangiovese
A dense and structured wine showing some nice development. The bouquet is restrained with notes of pot pourri and spices. It is concentrated and firm on the palate and opens up with some air. Grapes were grown at 500 metres on old vines planted on the Poggio a’Frati hill on poor limestone calcareous soils which produce very low yields. After an extended maceration and fermentation, the wine was matured for 22 months in cask and barrels. A hot dry July followed by light rains in August produced concentrated grapes.
