Tasting Notes

A fine example of Tuscany winemaking, this Cortona DOC reflects generations of local expertise. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Syrah 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. It displays rich color intensity with complex aromas and a persistent finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards vines bred on soils of "galestro" marl and clayey shales, marls and fine sandstones with quartz and limestone. Vinification: the grapes are de-stemmed and subjected to an extremely soft crushing and carry out the alcoholic fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts in steel tanks at controlled temperature with frequent pumpovers and maceration of the skins for about 10 days. The wine is aged 12 months in vitrified cement barrels on the fine lees. A wine capturing the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany in every glass.
