As mandated by the appellation, this wine is made entirely from Sangiovese and undergoes a minimum of four years of aging, including at least two years in oak barrels, before release. The 2010 vintage yielded approximately 5,500 cases of the regular bottling, and the estate also produces a single-vineyard expression called Vigna Manapetra, sourced from a fully enclosed parcel within the property characterized by naturally draining soils that limit yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with lingering wild berry and dark-skinned fruit before moving into layers of toasted nut, smoke, and wet earth.

Full-bodied and concentrated, the wine develops flavors of dark espresso bean, cured meat, and Indian spice toward the peak, all supported by velvety, well-integrated tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is long and layered, with dried fruit, black licorice, and tilled soil lingering alongside a thread of leather.
