Grapes

100% Sauvignon

Vineyards

The grapes come from 15 years old vineyards that produce 1,30 kg of grapes per vine. The land is located 200 m above sea level and 10 km from the coast in the southern part of the Grosseto province, in the inland parts of Maremma. The soil is predominantly clayey and stony and is haracterized by sharp temperature variations between day and night.

System

Espalier with spurred cordon with 3300 vines per hectare.

Grape Harvest

When the grapes are ripe, they are selected and harvested manually. The grape harvest takes place during the last ten days of August starting very early in the morning in order to guarantee a cool temperature when the grapes are brought to the wine cellar.

Vinification

Soft pressing of the whole bunch of grapes. Settling for 36 hours, fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 15° C.

Wine

Bright, with a straw-yellow colour and greenish shimmers. The nose is intense and long lasting. It delivers floral notes such as elderberry, citrus notes as well as white pulp fruits. It is dry and fresh on the palate. Delicate and medium-bodied, the wine is well balanced, long-lasting in flavour and with an elegant finish with savoury notes.
