Tasting notes
Dark purple with violet reflections. Very open, profound and multi-layered bouquet. Vibrant, powerful, energetic primary fruit. Coffee and roasted wood flavours, some tobacco. Dense, full-bodied and round on the palate. Plenty of perfectly fleshy tannins. The aromas of the nose are reflected in the flavours. A masterpiece of complexity and balance. It is already very promising, but is sure to improve even more in the coming years. Fantastic.

Details
The vines for this celebrated wine are over 80 years old and produce a correspondingly low yield, but all the more impressive grape quality. A purple-red sparkling masterpiece with marvellous aromas of dark fruit, coffee and vanilla.
Recommendations
Excellent with beef, lamb and game as well as mature cheese.
Vinification
The vines for this wine grow in a tributary valley south-west of Greve in Chianti. Being over 80 years old, they produce a very low yield. Further selection of the grapes guarantees the top quality of this wine. After fermentation, the young wine is matured for twelve months in new 350-litre French oak barrels and refined for a further six months in the bottle. Around 25,000 bottles are produced each year!
