Grandi Annate
Toscana I.G.T. Sangiovese
T he Grandi Annate is only produced during the best vintages. The philosophy behind this wine is to highlight the best traits of Sangiovese from Tuscany. This wine is a keeper. Lay it down, wait and enjoy it later due to its fantastic ageing potential.
The wine shows a beautiful bouquet, with notes of dill, licorice, cheroot and violet. The wine is rich, with silky tannins and is a typical expression of the terroir, mirroring the balance of a soil rich in clay, limestone and sand.
100% Sangiovese.
The grapes were picked from the 18th to the 28th of September.
The must from each vineyard was vinified separately and the fermentation was spontaneous, with the use of indigenous yeasts. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins lasted up to 30 days, depending on each vineyard lot.
18 months in large oak casks and barriques.
