Vineyards and Micro Climate

This Sangiovese di Toscana IGT is sourced from vineyards spread across Tuscany’s rolling hills. It reflects a warm, sunny growing season—balanced enough to preserve acidity and freshness while yielding ripe, vibrant fruit. 

Vinification & Aging Methods

Fermentation in 2022 incorporated brief aging in both barriques and stainless steel, enhancing texture without overwhelming the fruit. This mix preserves juiciness while adding complexity. 

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby with purple hints; aromatics brim with strawberry, blackberry, and cherry, layered with floral notes and whispers of coffee, vanilla, and spice. The palate is soft, fresh, medium-bodied, balanced by moderate tannins, finishing clean and persistent. 

Food & Wine Pairing

Perfect with classic Tuscan fare—rich pasta ragù, stewed white meats, or grilled savory dishes. Its freshness and softness make it an ideal everyday food companion.
