土 壤：由细沙和粘土组成的上新世时期海洋沉淀物。

微 气 候：全年适中的温度给这里的微气候创造了有利的条件，另外蒙塔普奇诺(Montepulciano)丘西(Chiusi)和特拉西梅洛(Trasimeno)附近的湖泊以及阿米阿达山脉都给当地的气候带来了积极的影响。

酿造工艺：葡萄经过精选细致的去梗压榨后，在温度不超过28摄氏度的情况下进行缓慢的发酵16-18天左右。在这期间，每天都会进行多次的搅拌，从而不会让发酵过程松弛下来。葡萄里面的果酸会在12月份自然的完成发酵过程。接着在斯洛文尼亚中型橡木桶内陈酿两年然后在小型法国橡木桶内再次陈酿6个月后装瓶。

感官特性：酒体呈漂亮的深石榴红色，拥有强烈而美妙的芳香，成熟李子的香味。口感强劲而不失和谐，结构完美且富有层次感。

配餐建议：可以完美的搭配红肉、烧烤以及成熟的奶酪。饮用前需在瓶内醒酒两小时最佳。最宜侍酒温度在18-20摄氏度。

PRODUCTION AREA: Montepulciano: Argiano and Ascianello.

SOIL: Mixtures of clay and fine sand with Marine Pliocene sediment.

VINE TRAINING: Guyot and straight-line spurred tying (Cordone Speronato) - 4,400 vinestocks per hectare. Average age of vines: 20 – 25 years.

PRODUCTION PER HECTARE: 7 tons.

MICROCLIMATE: Moderate temperatures throughout the year create favourable microclimatic conditions. In addition, the proximity of Lakes Montepulciano, Chiusi and Trasimeno, and Mount Amiata, has a positive effect on the local climate.

VINIFICATION AND REFINING: After careful stalk removal and pressing, the grapes undergo a slow maceration that lasts 16 – 18 days at a controlled temperature that doesn’t exceed 28°C. During this stage, pump-overs are carried out several times a day, diminishing as fermentation winds down. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally during the month of December. The wine is aged for two years in medium-sized Slavonian oak casks, and small French oak barrels. This is followed by a six-month period of refinement in the bottle.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: The colour is deep garnet. The bouquet is delicate and penetrating, with hints of mature plum, and the flavour is dry, warm and robust. It is the perfect accompaniment for red meats, game and well-seasoned cheeses.

Best opened at least two hours before serving or decanted. Serving Temperature: 18 – 20℃.
