From the wise vinification of precious grapes blended in a blend composed of 85% Sangiovese, 15% other vines such as Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Alicante, Syrah. The origin of all the vineyards falls within the corporate scope of the Maremma. The harvest begins with the harvest immediately after the first decade of September, and lasts until the first week of October to allow the grapes to reach the right degree of ripeness. Vinification takes place using traditional methods, in modern cement tanks and small conical wood truncated tinels, native yeasts (pied de cuve), prolonged maceration times on the skins (15-20 days) at controlled temperatures of 27-29°C. The extraction of polyphenols is obtained by frequent alternating pumping over to délestages with only manual interventions. All the vineyards are bred with the criterion of high plant density (about 6500 vines/ha), the prevailing form of breeding is the double Guyot with some sapling plots. All the wine is passed in wood for 12 months in small barrels (25 hl) and tonneaux of the first and second passage.
