VEGAN FRIENDLY

The fruit for the 2022 Sangiovese Barbera was picked in early and mid March at 13.8° baumé. The grapes were picked in the cool early morning and fermented with specially selected yeast to extract and preserve their unique flavour expression. Regular pump overs continued for about 10 days with ferment temperatures reaching a peak of 28°C. The wine underwent MLF and careful maturation to build structure, complexity and varietal character.
