ABOUT THE WINE: This wine is made of 50% Merlot from Chianti area and 50% Sangiovese from Montalcino (planted about 300m above sea level). The grapes are hand-picked and fermented separately. Fermentation and maceration occur in stainless steel tanks for 40-50 days. This long period of skin contact allows for full extraction of tannins, flavors, and color. The Sangiovese matures in Slavonian oak barrels (3200-3500 L) for about 12 months, while Merlot the matures in French oak barrels (500 L) for about 12 months.
