NOTES
VINEYARD: The estate's nine hectares of vineyards lie at an altitude of around 300m above sea level and form an impressive amphitheater surrounding the buildings of Tenuta Tamburnin. Iron-clay soils predominate. The vine training system used is espalier with Guyot pruning in which 6-7 buds are left, and the harvest is manual. Some of the vines at the winery are more than 40 years old, while others are recent. The cultivation methods used provide very limited yields which offer undoubted benefits to the quality of the wine production. No pesticides are used in the vineyards.

VINIFICATION: Grapes were manually harvested during the first two weeks of October. Stainless steel tank fermentation for 10-12 days and 100% MLF. Aged in 20hl barrels for 12 months, 3 months in stainless, 6 months in bottle before release.

TASTING NOTES: Fresh cherry, hints of leather and spice on the nose. Balanced, with well-integrated tannins.
