Grape variety
Sangiovese from a 6 hectares (15-acre) vineyard planted in 1993/94 at a
density of 6.500 vines per hectare (2,600 vines per acre), trained in “Alberello”, “Bush” system.
Harvest
The fruit is carefully selected and hand-harvested in small crates, generally in October
Winemaking process
Soft press and destemming. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a max. temperature of 30°C.
“Ombroso” is produced only in the best vintages; therefore we allow a
prolonged skin-contact maceration. It spends 12 to 15 months in
French Barriques - 50% new, and 50% of second and third year.
Following a very light filtrationthe wine rests in the bottle for over 1 year, before release.
Wine profile notes
Deep ruby in color; rich and complex aromas of cherry, wild strawberries, violet,
vanilla, spice, cocoa and licorice. On the palate the wines offers a rich structure,
backed by important tannins yet ripe and fine, with rich extraction of fruit.
