-
WINEMAKER: Giovanni Fanti
-
FARMING: Sustainable practices, with a focus on biodiversity and soil health; the estate is transitioning toward organic certification
-
VARIETY: 60% Sangiovese, 25% Merlot, 10% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
- TERROIR: The wine comes from the Poggio Torto vineyard, located in the Montalcino area of Tuscany. The vineyard sits at an elevation of 400 meters, benefiting from a combination of well-drained clay and limestone soils, coupled with a Mediterranean climate that allows for perfect ripening of the grapes.
-
VINIFICATION: The wine is fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts to preserve the character of the fruit. Maceration lasts for around 10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation to round out the acidity.
-
AGING: Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (of which 30% are new), allowing the wine to develop its structure while retaining freshness and fruit character.
-
TASTING NOTES: This wine presents aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and a hint of herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, showcasing flavors of dark fruit, tobacco, and a touch of spice. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, with a smooth, elegant finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfectly paired with grilled meats, pasta with rich tomato sauces, or aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano.
