Vintage details

The 2021 vintage stands out for its balanced climatic trend, which favored uniform grape ripening. Sunny days alternated with cool nights concentrated aromas and color, resulting in an intense, fragrant, and at the same time harmonious wine. It is a vintage that perfectly expresses the typical characteristics of the Montepulciano territory, with a clean and characterful profile.

Winemaking and aging

After a meticulous selection of grapes, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, with maceration on the skins for about 15-20 days, useful for extracting color and tannins in a balanced way. This is followed by a period of aging in barriques and oak barrels for about 18 months, which contributes to giving complexity and softness to the wine without compromising its freshness. Further rest in the bottle perfects the balance between structure and finesse.
