Pure Sangiovese, from the estate’s oldest vineyard, planted in 1935 at the request of His Royal Highness Amedeo of Savoy, Duke of Aosta, then owner of the estate. Approximately one hectare of vineyard entirely hand-terraced, situated at the center of the property at around 300 meters, still produces grapes that are rich, complex, structured, and full of extract and nutrients. Due to its uniqueness and to best enhance the characteristics of this Cru, the grapes undergo a particularly gentle and long maceration of about one month, designed to bring out all the noble components of the fruit, harvested at optimal phenolic ripeness. The wine then ages in large oak casks of 30 and 45 hl for approximately two years, followed by at least one year in bottle. Finally, it is left unfiltered to preserve all the varietal notes typical of Sangiovese, and above all the characteristics of the territory from which it originates. The combination of galestro-rich soil, maturation in large oak casks, and extended bottle aging without filtration makes this a wine meant to endure over time, just like the vineyard from which it comes, a Cru destined to make history. Produced in limited editions since the 2012 vintage, with numbered bottles, only in the best vintages.
