Growing Conditions
Castelnuovo Berardenga
The San Lazzaro cru stands at 360 m a.s.l., benefiting from a south-west
exposure. The vines were planted in 2006, on a clayey and rocky soil.
Winemaking
After the harvest, the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation in small steel vats at a controlled temperature, followed by a maceration that lasts about 15 days. Then, the malolactic fermentation takes place, entirely carried out in French oak barrels.
Aging
18 – 20 months in large French oak barrels.
Appearance
It proudly shows a superb ruby red colour, enriched by precious purple
hues.
Food Pairing
