Vinification
The grape in question is Prugnolo Gentile, a clone of Sangiovese that is smaller and, thanks to its lower yields, produces wines of greater finesse and quality. The yield is one bottle per vine, and fermentation takes place in wooden vats. The wine is then aged in oak for 18 months: 70% in large Slavonian oak casks (botti) and 30% in tonneaux (smaller 900L French oak barrels). Afterward, the wine matures for a further 6 months in bottle.

Natural yeasts and no sulphites are used to make wine.
The unique bottle, la Bordolese Toscanella, which is lighter than a normal bottle, has also been specially developed to limit the impact on the environment.
