Spring 2023 was rainier than in recent years, which required more careful and accurate work in the vineyard, particularly in canopy management, to prevent any potential fungal diseases. Thanks to the lower T° and good ventilation of our altitude vineyards, downey mildew attacks were contained. The heat of July and August did not put any water-related stress on the vines, thanks to more than sufficient water reserves following the rainy spring. The good temperature ranges between day and night in late August and the first part of September allowed the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The Sangiovese for the Sambrena was picked between the 15th and 19th of September.

Juicy, elegant Sangiovese with a very floral, pretty profile. Delicate rose petals lead into crunchy summer red cherries, accented by fresh sage and fennel. Sambrena shows a beautiful, effortless weight on the palate, silky smooth with just the right touch of tannin. The fruit is pure and subtle, carrying through to a refined, graceful finish.
