Sangiovese and Syrah blend.The grapes, separated from the stems, falls by gravity into tanks where they are left to macerate together with the skins for about 25 to 30 days.
At the end of this stage, the Syrah is transferred to barriques while the Sangiovese is placed in French oak-wood tonneaus. After being blended and returned to the wooden barrels for a further year of maturing, the wine is aged in bottles for a minimun of 12 to 18 months before it goes onto the market. From 2013 vintage is our Orcia Doc Riserva.

Description

Wine produced in the hills near Siena from thickly planted vines.
The entirely manual canopy management associated with drastic thinning of the bunches when they start to ripen leads to a yield of 700 to 800 g per stem.
The grapes are hand picked and placed in small crates that are sent immediately to the cellars where they are carefully selected on two selection conveyors.
The grapes, separated from the stems, falls by gravity into tanks where they are left to macerate together with the skins for about 25 to 30 days.
At the end of this stage, the Syrah is transferred to barriques while the Sangiovese is placed in French oak-wood tonneaus, selected with a suitable ratio of new to used depending on the vintage, in which
malo-lactic fermentation will take place.
After being blended and returned to the wooden barrels for a further year of maturing, the wine is aged in bottles for a minimun of 12 to 18 months before it goes onto the market.
