Nose
The nose shows notes of ripe red fruit, plum with hints of vanilla and spices.
Palate
In the mouth the entrance is enveloping and elegant, balanced, but lively with sweet and silky tannins. The finish is long and persistent.
Growing Conditions
The wine is born in the Sangiovese vineyards in loc. Cornia, which develop at 460 meters above sea level. These are the vineyards with the richest stones, a feature that greatly slows down the vigor of the plant, enhancing the structure of the future wine. The soil that distinguishes this wine has been characterised since its formation, originating from the Chianti massif, by a large quantity of compact limestone resting on a sandstone base. T his type of soil restrains the vigour of the plant, lengthens the vegetative cycle and enhances the structure of Chianti. Exposed south/south-west, the hillside is shaped like an amphitheatre, characterised by cool winds.
