Fermented in concrete tanks with native yeast and aged in both large oak casks and concrete, it develops bright cherry fruit aromas complemented by hints of chocolate and balsamic vinegar. The palate reveals fresh red fruit supported by fine-grain tannins, culminating in a savoury finish with a touch of minerality. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, mature cheeses, and various red meats, offering an excellent introduction to this historic Tuscan denomination.

After fermentation and pressing in a gentle pneumatic press to extract the juice, some of the wine was aged in 54HL large oak casks, while the rest was aged in concrete tanks.
