The fruit comes from a variety of sites where the soils vary considerably adding to the complexity of the wine. In addition, each valley offers different qualities to the wine, although there is always a high calcareous concentration, with lots of big stones in the first half metre of the ground. The wine is made via the Appassimento process where ripe and healthy grapes are selected at the time of the hand picking. The grapes are laid out in large perforated plastic boxes which are then stacked in the fruttaio (a large airy room) and the grapes allowed to lightly dry prior to pressing. The wine is then aged partly in steel tanks and partly in Tonneaux. This results in fuller bodied style, packed with intense fruit and balanced acidity. With hints of red cherry, black cherry, plum compote and spice, the mouthfeel is velvety with soft tannins at the end and a lovely, lingering length.
