Winemaker Notes

The grapes are crushed and fermented in two batches; one on skins for 14 days before being drained off, and the other fermented and left on skins for an extra four weeks of extended maceration. These two variations help to enhance and exhibit the classic savoury Sangiovese tannins. The new wine is then drained and gently pressed into new (30%) and older French oak hogsheads for malolactic fermentation and 15 months maturation before being blended and prepared for bottling. The wine is then released after an extra twelve months aged in bottle.
