It matures for at least two years in Slavonian oak and four months in bottle.
The Winery:
Cantine Leonardo da Vinci: located in Vinci, Leonardo’s birthplace, with roots in the Montalcino area as well. The winery’s aim is to reinterpret in a modern way the winemaking studies of the Florentine genius. Leonardo came from a family of winegrowers. In 1515 he wrote a letter to his estate manager with precise advice on agronomy and winemaking to produce a flawless wine. That document gave rise to the Leonardo Method, an approach based on observation, innovation and respect for the land. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks and ageing in Slavonian oak casks.
