On the palate, it is concentrated and enveloping, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft, full tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e leading to a \u003cstrong\u003elong, persistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by elegant mineral and toasted notes. This solid structure makes it ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003ered meats and game\u003c\/strong\u003e, balancing and enhancing the most intense and bold flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards cultivated on the slopes of Rocca di Montemassi, in the historic Colline Metallifere of the Maremma. This area of southern Tuscany enjoys a \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, tempered by the proximity of the sea and protected by the surrounding woods. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-loam soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, formed from the erosion of the highlands and particularly rich in precious minerals. The meeting of the soil composition and the maritime microclimate gives the wine a clear \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial character\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring structural freshness and excellent natural sapidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction involves a careful manual harvest to select only perfectly ripe bunches. The varieties ferment separately in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with a \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of thirty days aimed at best extracting colour and structure. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine ages for fourteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, before resting further for another ten months. The entire viticultural management respects the principles of \u003cstrong\u003ecertified organic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e, through meticulous manual interventions on the canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn among the Metalliferous Hills of the Maremma, this red wine combines ancient Etruscan echoes with an exquisitely contemporary taste.
