Terroir: This Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on the hilly lands of Barberino Val d’Elsa, characterized by calcareous and clayey soils, typical of the Chianti Classico area. The vineyards are located at an altitude that favors an optimal microclimate for cultivation, with warm days and cool nights, contributing to a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes.

Vinification: The harvest is manual, with a rigorous selection of the best grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by aging in French oak barriques for about 18 months. Subsequently, the wine rests in the bottle for several months before being released onto the market, in order to reach the right balance.
