Hand-harvested grapes from the structured 2010 vintage—marked by warm conditions yielding powerful yet balanced fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 18 months' aging in French oak barriques (50% new) to foster integration and depth. This flagship super-Tuscan yields a garnet red wine with orange reflections and profound maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e An elegant, mature red with dried dark fruit and complex earthy spice, reflecting Toscana’s limestone terroir.
