Description
Grape: 100% Sangiovese Grosso
Soil: Calcareous and stony soils with Galestro
Estate: Pieve Santa Restituta – Gaja
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
The grapes from the different vineyard parcels are fermented separately and remain on their skins during fermentation.
The wine is aged for 12 months, with half of the maturation taking place in oak barrels and the other half in concrete tanks. This approach preserves the wine’s fresh fruit character while giving it balance and structure.
