The elevated locations of the vineyards (from 450 to 600 metres above sea level) and the large variation in temperature between night and day gives the wine their particular bouquet.
The Sangiovese grapes are harvested in the second half of October. It does a fermentation and maceration at a temperatures not higher than 28 °C for 28-30 days. Futher along the young wine undergoes the malolactic fermentation in big oak barrels where it remains for about 24-30 months .

On the palate the Riserva has a full, rich, velvety and austere flavour, with persisting presence. It is ideal with red meats, game and strong cheese.
