Winemaker

  

Monica Mori (Vini Villa Poggio a Varna)
 

Blend

  

70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot
 

Production method

  

Hand-picking. The Merlot is harvested in early September, and the Sangiovese in late September.

 

Vinification

  

Separate:
– Merlot: alcoholic fermentation for 4-5 days and maceration on the skins for about 15 days.
– Sangiovese: alcoholic fermentation for 4-5 days and maceration on the skins for about 18 days.
 
The grapes are then transferred into stainless steel tanks where malolactic fermentation takes place.
The Merlot grapes are transferred into small oak barrels (barriques) where they remain for 10 months. Even a small amount of Sangiovese is aged in barriques for 8 months. The rest remains in the stainless steel tanks.
 

Colour

  

The wine has an intense ruby-red colour.
 

Nose

  

The fragrances are intense with light fruity notes and a discreet hint of spices reminiscent of tobacco and undergrowth.
 

Palate

  

Excellent structure and sapidity, rich in extracts and good balance between acidic strength and tannins. Elegant flavour, very round, agreeable, with a good persistent finish. Powerful, suitable to be paired with the important dishes of Italian and international cuisine.
