This reserve red wine from Cantina Vignaioli Scansano is made from mainly Ciliegiolo grapes grown on loamy soils at about 150 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested in mid-September, after careful selection, followed by maceration at 35°C for 12 hours, then fermentation at a controlled temperature and maceration on the skins for 8 days. The ageing process takes place in 225-litre French oak barriques for 6 months, followed by a final 10 months of bottle ageing.
