This wine comes from the best vats of Sangiovese and Merlot through a drain (saignee) carried out for almost 12 hours with skin contact. For many years, we have been fermenting the extracted must in small stainless steel tanks, but three years ago, we started an experiment to ferment the must just extracted in second passage barriques.
