This is a full-bodied and powerful Sangiovese with prominent, young tannins and plenty of freshness, so it needs to meet dishes with just as much substance and preferably good richness. Fatty and juicy protein softens the pronounced tannins, while the wine's energy and freshness cut through the fat and keep the mouth clean. Dark fruit, mocha and dried herbs find an echo in grilled and slow-braised meat as well as umami from mushrooms and aged cheese. Choose robust preparations like grilling and baking that match the wine's strength and power.

About the wine

It is a full-bodied and powerful wine, with all elements in perfect balance.

Filled with intense dark fruit, lavender, mocha, and dried herbs. Plenty of energy and freshness.
The tannins are quite prominent in the young wine.

100% Sangiovese. Only the best grapes from the single vineyard Cavarchione, located near the small village of Vertine in Gaiole in Chianti. The vineyard is 6 ha, with east/southeast exposure, situated at 420 meters above sea level, and was planted in 2009 and 2010.
The soil is very rich in sediments with varying marble/limestone/Galestro stones.
Only minimal leaf removal is performed as the vineyard is exceptionally well-exposed.

Fermented for 20 days in concrete tanks at controlled temperature (max. 28°C)
Maceration with skin contact for 45 days in concrete tanks
Aged for 12 months in 20 hl/30 hl Slavonian oak barrels and almost 1 year of bottle aging before release.
