Climatic trend: optimal climatic conditions. Good spring rainfall, not excessive temperatures in July and August with some beneficial downpours. The vines brought the grapes to perfect ripeness. After a few very early vintages, 2004 saw a return to a “normal” harvest time, with Sangiovese starting for September 20.
Vinification: fermentation on the skins lasting 18-20 days, at a controlled temperature below 30° C, in low and wide 150 hl steel tanks, specially made to effectively but gently extract tannins and color.
Aging: 4 years, 3 of which in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels of 25-50 and 75 hl capacity, followed by bottle aging for at least 12 months in temperature-controlled rooms.
Alcohol content: 14%
Serving temperature: 18°
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: deep ruby red.    
Nose: very broad and inviting, with the varietal notes of plum and violet finely enhanced by oak spices.
Palate: excellent structure, powerful but not aggressive tannin and a wealth of complex and inviting nuances typical of a great vintage. The aftertaste leaves pleasant sensations of well-being.
