| Wine Description | The Riserva was not produced between 1991 and 2010 as the family gradually re-selected and replanted the vines focusing on clone selection and different expressions of Sangiovese vines in relation to the soil. In 2010, they found that the increased complexity and structure in the grapes from the first replantings of native vines lent themselves to a wine that is a pure expression of Vino Nobile, comprised of Sangiovese and a small amount of other native grapes. |
