Coming from hand picked grapes taken at the estate winery , Almost impenetrable dark ruby. A seductive amalgamation of red berries and dark cherries with cigar-box notes and hints of black olives. Super-accessible, lush and supple on the palate, with the gentle grip of soft, grainy tannins on the finish. This can age further, but why wait?

The 2023 vintage in the Siena region was defined by a volatile spring with heavy rainfall that significantly challenged vineyard management and naturally reduced yields through intense mildew pressure. This gave way to a hot, dry summer, which allowed the remaining Sangiovese clusters to reach excellent concentration and phenolic ripeness by the September harvest. The resulting Chianti wines are characterized by a riper fruit profile and structured tannins, balanced by a surprising freshness retained from the early-season water reserves.
