An accessible, everyday expression of Sangiovese from the estate, made with 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo. Aged 8 months in cement tanks followed by a minimum of 3 months in bottle, favoring fresh fruit character over oak influence. A lighter, more immediate style than the estate's Chianti Classico wines.
