Sangiovese

Sangiovese grows in a high vineyard with heavier clay and a gentle southwest incline. Red cherry, molasses, herbs and candied violet accompany freshness, elegant acidity and concentrated fruit. Peony, red-currant blossom, red plum and watermelon are also present. The tannins are suede-like, and the finish is long and complex. The organically grown fruit undergoes extended skin maceration.

Intense ruby-red colour accompanies dark fruit, wild blackberry and mulberry, with sweet violet, blossoms and mixed spice. The palate is broad, with silk-smooth tannins, balance and a long spice-infused finish. Merlot and Sangiovese form the blend. Fermentation takes place in concrete for twelve days, with twenty-two days of skin maceration. Ageing lasts twenty-four months in eighty percent new and twenty percent once-used barriques.

Sangiovese and Canaiolo form a 90/10 blend. The grapes ferment and the wine ages in oak for up to three years from harvest. Deep ruby-garnet colour accompanies perfumed red-fruit aromas. Berry and cherry flavours are structured and balanced, with spice and cedar present on the palate. The wine is sweet, soft and supple, and has a very long finish.

Sangiovese from Casale del Bosco and Manachiara is blended from twenty separate vinifications. Grapes are hand harvested, then fermentation and maceration last twenty-eight days below twenty-eight degrees. Maturation lasts twenty-four months in large Slavonian oak, followed by eighteen months in bottle. The wine shows dark colour saturation, with dark fruit, plum, soft potting soil and grilled herb, alongside freshness and a tannic backbone.

Pale purple colour accompanies red and purple florals, red cherry, plum, raspberry, pomegranate, orange peel, herbs, liquorice and sweet spice. The palate is agile and lightly textured, with complex minerality, powdery tannins and lively acidity. Sangiovese comes from high-altitude vineyards in Gaiole. It ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeast in concrete, then matures in unlined concrete and large untoasted oak.

Deep, brilliant ruby in colour. The bouquet includes violet, red fruit and black fruit, with morello cherry and blueberry. The palate is full, enveloping, elegant and sinuous, with dense, silky tannins and acidity. Selected fruit spends twelve months in cement, large Slavonian-oak casks and new and used barriques, followed by twenty-four months of bottle ageing.

Ruby red colour with slight brightening at the rim accompanies plum and walnut. Mint, fresh thyme, refreshing acidity and somewhat coarse-grained tannins appear in the wine, together with a medium-long finish. Made entirely from Sangiovese, this Tuscan red comes from Brunello di Montalcino. Black cherry and slate appear alongside medium body, juicy tannins and a savoury finish.

Enormously silky and smooth, this Tuscan red shows finesse and elegance. The cuvée uses 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks for about twenty-one days, and malolactic fermentation also occurs in concrete. Ageing covers twenty-four months in Slavonian oak and about three months in bottle. It carries the Toscana IGT designation.
