Clay and limestone soils, strewn with siliceous stones, combine with marked temperature shifts and moderate daytime highs to encourage gradual Sangiovese ripening. Selected grapes are harvested by hand, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and macerated on their skins for two to three weeks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in both stainless steel and wood, followed by ageing in tonneaux and Slavonian oak barrels, then at least six months in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy it with roast guinea fowl, Tuscan beef stew or well-aged cheeses.
