The old vines of the Vigna Schiena d'Asino express the maximum expression of the native Sangiovese, offering a wine of great personality, tradition and elegance where the finely woven tannic texture amplifies the complex and varied aromatic notes. The tension of an intact tannin with the boost of a dynamic acidity guarantees an extraordinary aging potential.

The old vines of the vineyard give us the maximum expression of the native Sangiovese, offering us a wine of great personality and tradition where a superb and varied aromatic complexity is inserted on a solid tannic texture, dense and tight, which together with fragrant acidity is guarantee of a superb aging potential.

The intense brightness of a long and generous summer, with good temperature ranges, allows the perfect expression of a mature and elegant tannin, present but never aggressive, which makes this wine a product of great personality and balance, with endless interminability and persistence.
