Mild winter with low temperatures in January followed by rains in in the second half of February. Cool and rainy spring. June and July were sunny with just one relevant rainstorm. In August the temperatures were in the seasonal average. Thanks to the abundant water reserves and the lack of extreme heat, the foliage remained efficient all season long. All this resulted in a slow homogenous ripening of the grapes excellent for obtaining a perfect phenolic and technological maturity. 

Particular clones of Sangiovese, selected by Col d’Orcia. Manual harvest with rigorous selection of the best bunches in the vineyard at first and subsequently on a selection table in the cellar. Vintage 2019 yield: 69 q/ha, against the maximum yield allowed by the Protocol Regulation: 80 q/ha.

Vinification:
Fermentation on the skins for about 18-20 days, at controlled temperature below 28° C. in 150 hl wide and shallow stainless steel tanks, designed and built in order to extract tannins and colour efficiently but delicately.

Colour: Ruby red with violet hues.

Bouquet:  The ample and complex bouquet highlights the delicate aromas and leads back to small ripe red fruits as cherry and black berry. All is well integrated with the oak notes and vanilla aromas from the long refinement in the wood.

Taste: Full-bodied and balanced taste. The excellent structure and the enveloping tannic texture reveal a fruity and lasting finish. The aftertaste, enhanced by a good sapidity, brings back to the aromas mentioned above

Alcohol content: 14,5% vol.
