TECH INFO
The vineyards are located in Riparbella, in Tuscany's coastal Maremma region, miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The grapes are deposited on a gravity fed conveyor belt to avoid damaging the skins while he leaves and stems are removed. From there, the fruit moves via conveyor belt to a filtering machine that gently breaks the skins to release juice as the grapes drop to fill a conical-shaped stainless steel tank.
Temperature-controlled fermentation begins and juice is pumped over the grapes every 6 hours. After 2 weeks the grapes are gently pressed.
Aged 15 months in 100% new French oak barrels and followed by 12 months in the bottle.
