A characterful Tuscan red from the Garfagnana hills, made from Syrah grown in high-altitude vineyards influenced by the nearby Apennines and Apuan Alps. The fruit comes from old, carefully tended parcels planted on mineral-rich, stony soils that bring natural tension and lift to the wine.
Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in open vessels, with gentle extraction to preserve aromatic clarity and finesse. The wine is then aged in used oak barrels, followed by a period in cement to refine texture and integration without adding overt wood influence.
The result is a vibrant, expressive wine marked by red and dark berry fruit, black pepper, and aromatic herbs. Fresh, energetic, and lightly structured, it balances mountain-grown brightness with subtle depth and a clean, focused finish.
