Castelnuovo Berardenga

The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 350 m a.s.l., with a south-west exposure on a clayey rocky and, consequently, well-drained soil. Vines were planted in 1998, cordon trained and spur pruned, with a vine density of 4.200 plants per ha.

Spicy notes such as ginger, orange zest, anise and a hint of vanilla are well integrated in a wealth of black berries.

Elegant, fresh and juicy palate dominated by dark cherries into a frame of round tannins. Generous finish with persistent black pepper, liquorice, black fruit flavours.

Bright ruby colour with purple hues.

Rich, flavourful dishes based on red sauce and red meat, game, stews, truffles and mature cheeses.

18 months in 10-20 hl French oak barrels for the Sangiovese, 18 months in barriques for the Cabernet and Merlot, 6 months in bottle.

The grapes are hand harvested and selected in the vineyards.
