VINIFICATION AND AGEING
This pure Sangiovese must results from a simple and traditional red wine vinifi cation process which includes three weeks’ maceration with their skins and seeds. Once maceration and malolactic fermentation has been completed, the wine is matured in Allier oak barrels for 14 months followed by a long aging process in the bottle. The union of terroir and tradition has allowed us to achieve the truest expression of the Sangiovese di Radda, a wine of great fi nesse and character.
