Color: Bright ruby red with purple highlights

Nose: A refined and fruity bouquet, with dominant notes of ripe cherry, plum, and red berries, accompanied by slight hints of violet and spicy touches of black pepper and vanilla.

Taste: Dry and well-balanced, with soft, silky tannins. On the palate, it is elegant, with good structure and freshness; one can perceive pleasant notes of fresh red fruit, herbaceous hints, and a vein of minerality that reflects the Umbrian terroir. The finish is long and persistent, with a slight aftertaste of sweet spices.

Pairings: Excellent with grilled white and red meats, pasta dishes with meat sauce, lasagna, mushroom-based dishes, and medium-aged cheeses. It is also ideal with pizza and traditional Italian dishes featuring tomato and aromatic herbs.

Terroir: This Sangiovese is grown on the calcareous and clayey soils typical of Umbria, which give the wine a delicate minerality and aromatic complexity. The temperate climate of the Orvieto area, with hot summers and cool winters, promotes optimal grape ripening while preserving both freshness and aromatic intensity.

Vinification: Harvesting is done manually to select the best bunches. Vinification involves temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to keep the fruity characteristics of the Sangiovese intact. The wine ages for a few months in wooden barrels, which round out the tannins and add slight spicy nuances.
