Wine description

This wine of the Tuscany tradition is produced by the Banfi winery in the south slopes of the Montalcino’s hills. The soils are located at 220-230 meters above the sea level and depending on the different vines have different characteristics. For the Cabernet Sauvignon the soil has  a brown light olive color clay with limestones. For the Merlot the soils are brown-yellow sandy with limestones with abundant stones and for the Sangiovese the soil is the same of the Merlot’s. It is made with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Merlot 30%, Sangiovese 25%, and Syrah 15%. It is cultivated with the cordon spur pruning with a density of 4200 trees per hectare and a profit of 70 quintals. There are four wine making methods: there is the pre-fermenting maceration at 14°C for 2 days in steel and horizon wood barrels. It follows the maceration at 22°C up to the last two days when the temperature is put at 27°C.

Finally, they are assembled and it rests for 6 months in barrels and 6 months in bottle.
