Production

Since moving to Gran Selezione status with the 2011 vintage, this wine is now produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes cultivated in the single, 30-year-old Poggio Rosso vineyard. The 10-hectare vineyard is at 390m above sea level and faces south/south-east. The soil is rich in limestone and loam. The vines are trained using the Guyot and Spurred cordon method. The grapes were fermented in contact with the skins for 20-25 days at 28-30°C, followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in 500-litre French oak casks for 20 months. The wine was matured for a further 12 months in bottle before release.

Tasting Notes

Intense and complex nose with pure cherry and bramble fruit aromas and fine cedar and white spice notes. Poised and elegant with layers of black fruit and spice—this is a wine with beautifully integrated tannins and great finesse on the finish.

Perfect Pairings

A perfect match for fine roast lamb, grilled steaks, wild boar, aged Tuscan cheeses, or osso buco. An excellent wine for special occasions and fine dining.
