The grapes for this wine come from carefully tended vineyards in the Maremma region, known for its Mediterranean climate and diverse soils. These conditions are ideal for growing the Sangiovese grape, which dominates the Morellino di Scansano. After hand-harvesting and a rigorous selection, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine then ages for approximately 12 months in small oak barrels (barriques) and another 6 months in the bottle before release.

The finish is long and harmonious, with persistent fruit and spice notes that delight the palate.
