A rare single-varietal expression of Malvasia Nera del Chianti, grown in the Camboi plot — named for Campo dei Buoi, an area once used for ox breeding until the 1960s, when Malvasia Nera vines were planted there. Aged about a year in third- and fourth-passage barriques, it shows a ruby red color with violet hues, notes of small red fruits, florals and sweet spices, and a full, intense palate with mature, well-integrated tannins.
One of very few single-varietal Malvasia Nera bottlings in Tuscany — a genuinely distinctive pour for curious drinkers.
