Production Details Double spur-pruned cordon training. Selected grapes come from the historic Marroneto vineyard beside the Madonna delle Grazie chapel. Destemmed must rests for one day before an initial pump-over lasting approximately 3–5 hours; after spontaneous fermentation begins, further pump-overs continue for 16–17 days. No selected yeasts, nutrients, inocula or temperature control are used. Racking occurs while 6–10 g/L residual sugar remains and malic conversion is unfinished; the wine is then allowed time to complete the remaining fermentations. Maturation is 47 months in large oak botti described by the producer as 26-quintal vessels, followed by 6 months in bottle.
Tasting Notes The producer describes great elegance, a decisive profile, broad texture, mature sweet tannins, depth and freshness. Alessandro Comitini, tasting in September 2025, additionally noted dark juicy berries, blood orange, wild undergrowth, minerality, length and intensity.

Production Details Spur-pruned cordon vineyard planted in 1975 at a density of 1,380 vines per acre. Alcoholic fermentation lasted 20 days in barrels at 81°F with pump-overs.

The analytical panel also reports dry extract of 35 g/L and an unspecified-basis value labelled only as “Acidity: 5.9 g/L”; the latter is retained here rather than represented as qualified total acidity.
Tasting Notes Floral and earthy aromas with bright cherry, leather tones, pronounced acidity, complex perfume, precision and purity.
