The Wine
Exceptionally drinkable. The nose is a melody of fresh berries with subtle spice and savoury earthy characters. The palate is soft, juicy and fleshy with flavours of cherry and plum. Soft tannins provide a lingering finish.
Winemaking
Some batches of Sangiovese were fermented at 30°C to extract flavour, tannin and texture while the remainder was fermented at a lower 23°C to help retain freshness and lifted fruit characters. The Shiraz was fermented separately at 25°C to extract more delicate aromatics and fruit flavour. Following fermentation both varieties were placed in stainless steel to mature and to impart freshness to the wine. The resulting wine is our “vino di tavola” Chianti style made for drinking now and every day.
