Description: The grapes for this wine come from the well exposed wooded hillsides located in the Grancia area, facing Poggio la Mozza. It is bordered to the west by the Grillese stream and the 'Grillesino' ditch, and hence the producers name. The grapes were destalked and softly pressed and vinified together in stainless steel vats. During the 20-day maceration there were repeated treadings to extract as many of the softest and most complex tannins as possible. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation at a maximum temperature of 30ºC, the wine was then put into new Allier and American oak barrels. The malolactic fermentation was complete at the beginning of the next spring and the wine was transferred carefully and poured into barrels until December. There was not any filtering carried out, only light binding and the wine was bottled in the same month. The wine is produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes. The wine greatly benefits from the ageing allowing it to mellow in barriques. The result is an intense red coloured wine with cherry aromas in the nose and mouth. An aristocratic wine of great structure, supple and elegant, it has great balance between traditional fullness, body and refinement as well as a modern fruity taste and tannic softness. It is suitable for further ageing. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £85.67
