Learn More About This Wine

Grown in Castiglione Falletto at an altitude of 300-350 metres, soils consists of marls of Sant’Agata Fossils with presence of sand. Total surface area is about two hectares. 

Harvested by hand in baskets towards mid-October. Selection of grapes, light crushing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with frequent pump over and delestages. Maceration for about 20 days. Followed by ageing from 30 to 40 months in traditional oak barrels and then a further ageing in bottle. 

A shimmering ruby red with bright edges. On the nose, rose hips and currants, hibiscus and rose petals, along with a hint of licorice. On the palate, it is powerful and straightforward, with a precise balance of tannins and acidity, and a juicy finish. (Falstaff reviewed Oct 2026)
