The grapes come from many small plots located within the Progreso village district. Vineyards of high-density plantation (5000 plants per Hectare) with low yields of 8000–10000 Kg/Ha) / The age of vines range mostly from 10 to 30 years. / Elevation is about 100 metres above sea level, but in Uruguay elevation is not important. The most important is how close to the sea vineyards are. / Soil type is clay calcareous with rather high PH a bit resembling Burgundy soils. With these vineyards we obtain high concentration tannins and delicate flavours and aromas.

Not as easily identifiable but complex and concentrated aroma, resembling cherry, strawberry, with a faintly floral violet character complemented with light Oak, vanilla and thyme.

Good density in the mouth, plus extra-long and ripe flavours of cherry, plum, strawberry, cinnamon and vanilla. Strong and persistent, but balanced. There is often a herbaceous quality associated with Sangiovese wines.

Body: Medium / Acidity: Medium / Alcohol: Medium

Seductive, intense red colour with violet reflections.

Well-matched for the flavours of chicken, red meat, fish, lamb, pork, pastas, stews or well-aged cheeses.

Sangiovese wines are natural partners to the classic cuisine of Tuscany: bistecca florentina, pizza margherita, veal chops and other classic Tuscan dishes. We suggest serving it fresh but not too cold, between 16º and 18ºC.

After pressing, settling, and racking the wine is moved to French and American oak barrels for ageing and maturation. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the next 15 to 30 days. The wines are aged in second use barrels for a period of about 5 to 7 months, depending on the concentration of the vintage.

Following final racking the wine is assembled and, before the end of the year, is bottled lightly filtered and then laid down in our cellar for additional bottle aging. Labelling and packing are done immediately prior to dispatch.

These wines may be consumed when released, approximately one year after harvest, but they will improve significantly with bottle age. With proper storage, these wines should be enjoyable for 5 to 10 years.
