The fifteen-hectare plot features vines exceeding thirty years in age, rooted in sandy soils washed down from ancient Pietraforte formations. A steady maritime breeze chills the afternoon sun, allowing the 100 percent Sangiovese Grosso grapes to develop thick skins and complex phenolic maturity before harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAging occurs exclusively in large Slavonian oak casks for twenty-four months, followed by additional bottle rest. This restrained wood regimen protects the primary fruit while coaxing out secondary complexity. The 2019 vintage displays an opaque garnet core with bright purple highlights. Early aromatics deliver concentrated black cherry, blackberry leaf, and candied orange zest, quickly deepening into notes of pipe tobacco, baking dark chocolate, and a characteristic saline undertone pulled directly from the coastal influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-palate feels lush and creamy yet maintains firm internal tension. Soft, fully ripened tannins coat the mouth evenly, carrying flavors of white peppercorn, dried fig, and fine espresso through a persistent, warming finish.

Slow-roasted or braised beef shanks and lamb shoulder allow the wine’s savory cedar and mineral backbone to shine equally. For those preferring a lighter main course, wild mushroom risotto or hard cow’s milk cheeses work well.
