This wine is the expression of the vineyard (about 20 hectares) I planted in these last years thinking about the project “Bolgheri”, that is to improve the characteristics of this terroir for a red wine with great character and pleasure. All the grapes are cultivated with traditionally and with care, in a high density vineyard (about 6,000 plants/ha) where I particularly respect the natural balance. During the harvest I select with manual work the grapes perfectly maturated and I make the fermentation without artificial yeasts, then manual submersions of the cap of the wine are carried out and pumping over procedures. After 12 months in barriques the wine is bottled and remains in our cellar for 6 months before being sold.
