Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby-red color, inviting and youthful. The bouquet leans toward red cherry, wild berries, violets, and subtle herbal and earthy notes, with a touch of spice that adds depth. On the palate, expect lively acidity, fine tannins, and a medium-bodied profile built around juicy red fruit, dried herbs, and a savory mineral edge. It is approachable in its youth but structured enough to gain added nuance over the next few years.

Production
Made from Sangiovese grown in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico area, the wine reflects the region’s hillside terroir, where well-drained soils and a temperate climate help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Harvest is typically carried out at optimal ripeness to retain the grape’s natural acidity and flavor clarity, followed by vinification designed to emphasize purity, balance, and varietal character.
