PRODUCTION AREA: Two distinct vineyard plots owned by the company: Le Prata, facing south-west at an altitude above sea level of 507 meters and La Torre with a south-east exposure at 420 asl., which, after being fermented and aged individually, come to the bottle in a single solution.
GRAPES USED: 100% Sangiovese certified organic
TRAINING SYSTEM: guyot
PLANT DENSITY: 5952 vines / ha.
YIELD PER HECTARE: 55/60 quintals
PHILOSOPHY: a Rosso di Montalcino intended as Brunello younger brother, coming from the same vineyards, whose we declass almost half of the production that will undergo long natural fermentations of 40 days carried out only by our native yeasts and a 12 months aging in 30/50 hl barrels in Slavonian oak. Our Rosso is not filtered
WEATHER CONDITIONS: The 2023 vintage was characterized by a very long and rainy spring. This caused some peronospora to develop that we tried to contain with targeted and timely biological treatments. The altitude of our vineyards and the very draining soil helped us a lot with it, and we were able to end the harvest with about 15% less annual production. The phenolic ripeness of our grapes reached an optimal point and the great work done on the sorting table allowed us to vinify only perfect grapes.
TASTING NOTES : Bright ruby red color and hints of red berries are the prelude to a wide, enveloping and soft mouth, characterized by fine tannins and good acidity, which contributes to a pleasant freshness and long aromatic persistence. A wine that is enjoyable and appreciated already, but with a year or two of bottle, it will definitely become a Brunello.
AVAILABLE FORMATS: 0.75 l. – 1.5 l. – 3 l.
